with a newly designed high-quality built-in stereo
microphone, as well as two XLR audio input
channels for professional microphones or
connecting to an external-line audio source.

By adjusting the INPUT ASSIGN switch located on
the side panel of the HVR-Z5U, you can easily
assign the two audio input channels to the built-in
stereo microphone, external-line audio, or dedicate
one channel to each and record them separately
or mixed. When
assigned to one
channel, the built-in
stereo microphone acts
as a wide-directional
monaural microphone.

supplied microphone with
the DSR-PD170, DSR-250,
HVR-A1U, and HVR-V1U.
