Recording Audio

Selecting the Audio Input from the XLR Terminals
Using the XLR terminals CH1 and CH2, you can record audio independently to the two audio channels from a
microphone or analog audio input source. Note that the camcorder’s MIC terminal is given priority over the XLR
terminals. To record audio from the XLR terminals, be sure not to connect any microphones to the MIC terminal.
Switching Between Microphone and Line Input
Set the XLR terminal switch of the desired channel to LINE or MIC.
• To supply a microphone with phantom power, set the switch to
MIC+48V instead. Make sure to connect the microphone first, before
turning the phantom power on. Keep the microphone connected
when turning off the phantom power.
• When using the XLR terminal to record to only one channel, use the
CH1 terminal.
Selecting the Recording Channel
You can select to which channel the camcorder will record audio.
1 Open the [XLR Rec Channel] submenu.
[¡ Audio Setup] > [Audio Input] > [XLR Rec Channel]
2 Select the desired option and then press SET.
Options
IMPORTANT
• When connecting a microphone or device that does not support phantom power, make sure to set the XLR
terminal switch to MIC or LINE, respectively. If you set the switch to MIC+48V, the microphone or device may
be damaged.
[CH1]: Records audio to each channel separately. Audio input
into CH1 is recorded to channel 1, while audio input into
CH2 is recorded to channel 2.
[CH1/CH2]: Audio input into CH1 is recorded to both channels. Audio
input into CH2 will not be recorded.
