Optional Submersible Microphone
If you have the submersible microphone installed on your Gates housing, there are
special considerations for setting up your camera and connections to capture external
audio.
First, setup the camera to allow use of the submersible microphone. Behind the LCD
screen are several switches that must be set as follows:
* CH2 SELECT SWITCH > INPUT 2
* PHANTOM POWER +48v CH2 SWITCH > ON
Next to the XLR inputs on the camera is a switch labeled ‘MIC/LINE’.
* MIC/LINE SWITCH > MIC
Optionally you can enter the menu system on the camera and increase the mic gain as
follows.
* MENU > RECORDING SETUP > MIC GAIN 2 > -60 dB
The audio input levels can also be adjusted manually to setting 8 for best response.
Further adjustment to the input level can be made to meet your individual audio needs.
Set CH2 to INPUT 2.
