then set the AUDIO IN switch for the desired
recording channel to FRONT.
7-5-2 Using an External Microphone
You can connect up to two external microphones using the
AUDIO IN CH1 and CH2 connectors.
When using a condenser microphone that requires external
power (phantom power), set the LINE/MIC/+48 V ON
switch to +48 V ON.
If the microphone being used does not require external
power (dynamic microphone), set the LINE/MIC/+48 V
ON switch to MIC.
Using a detached external microphone
In order for the AUDIO IN CH1 and CH2 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.
Using an external microphone attached to
the camcorder
You can attach an external microphone to the camcorder
using the optional CAC-12 microphone holder.

holder.
2
Attach the CAC-12 Microphone Holder.

the holder so that “UP” is

AUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2 switches:
When the audio cable is connected to either
the AUDIO IN CH1 or CH2 connector with the
XLR connection automatic detection function
set to ON on the AUDIO-1 page of the
MAINTENANCE menu, the signal input to the
AUDIO IN CH1 or CH2 connector is
automatically selected as the signal to be
recorded. This is true regardless of the
AUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2 switch settings. (This
is called XLR connection automatic detection
function.)
When the XLR connection automatic
detection function is set to OFF (factory
setting), set the AUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2 switch
corresponding to the channel to which the
microphone is connected to REAR.
LINE/MIC/+48 V ON
switch:
Set the LINE/MIC/+48 V
ON switch to +48 V ON if
you use an external
power supply type
microphone. Otherwise,
set the switch to MIC.
