Visual Communicator supports audio from as many as three different microphones. To keep
audio synchronized, it is best to connect all microphones through the same device (a
camcorder or sound card).
If the camera or sound card has only one input for an external microphone, use a Y adapter
that connects two microphones to one microphone jack.
Alternatively, you can use an audio mixer to combine the microphones for input to one
device. If you have a sound card that supports more than one audio input, use the additional
inputs for extra microphones. If the camcorder supports two inputs (such as Channel 1 and
Channel 2), plug one microphone into each channel.
