- When using a microphone with an internal power
supply, set it to MIC (center).
- When using a microphone with an external power
supply, set it to MIC +48V ON (right).
• Set the AUDIO IN (CH-1/CH-2) switch of the
channel that the microphone is connected to REAR.
• The camcorder can use a microphone with an input level
of – 60 dB. Other microphones may not be suitable for
use with this camcorder due to differences in the input
level.
• In order for the AUDIO IN CH-1 and CH-2 connectors
on the camcorder to be able to provide a phantom 48 V
power supply, female XLR connectors (3-pin) are fitted.
If the microphone cable has a female connector, use an
adaptor.
• When you detach a CAC-12 Microphone Holder once
you have attached to the camcorder, be careful not to
lose the two screws fixing the CAC-12. After detaching
the CAC-12, be sure to put the two screws back into their
original places.
