AUDIO IN CH 1/2 connectors, FRONT/REAR/
LINE switches, and MIC +48V/OFF/• switches

AUDIO IN (audio input) CH 1/2 connectors (XLR type, 
3-pin)

These connectors input external audio signals.

FRONT/REAR/LINE (audio signal selection) switches

These switches make settings for the respective audio 
signals input from the AUDIO IN CH 1/2 connectors.

FRONT

:  Selects the audio input from the video camera as 

the audio signal.

REAR

:  Outputs the audio signal input from the AUDIO 

IN connector to the CCU. Gain control setting for the 
connected microphone must be made on the CCU.

LINE

:  Sets the level for the signal input from the AUDIO 

IN connector to –20 dB.

MIC +48V/OFF/• (microphone power supply mode) 
switches

The following power supply settings can be specified for 
the external microphone:

MIC +48V

:  +48 V is supplied to the external microphone 

through the AUDIO IN connector.  Set to this position 
when the microphone re48 V of power supply.

OFF

:  No power is supplied through the AUDIO IN 

connector. 

 :  +12 V is supplied to the external microphone through 

the AUDIO IN connector.  Set to this position when the 
microphone re12 V of power supply.   This 
position becomes selectable when the S2 switch on the 
MA-128 internal board is set to ON (page 9).

Supplying power whose voltage does not match the 
requirement to the microphone may damage the 
microphone.  Be sure to set the MIC +48V/OFF/• switches 
to match the power requirement of the microphones.

n

REMOTE connector (8-pin)

Connects an RCP-750/751/920/921 Remote Control Panel 
or RM-B150 Remote Control Unit.  Connection must be 
made with a cable of 150 feet (50 meters) or less in length.

The REMOTE connector cannot be used when a CCU is 
connected.

When connecting the RM-B150, use the cable supplied 
with the RM-B150. 

o

RET CTRL (return control) connector (6-pin)

Inputs the control signal for selecting the return video and 
for turning the intercom microphone on and off.

p

EARPHONE jack (mini-jack)

Connects an earphone for monitoring the audio from the 
intercom or the program.  Select the audio source with the 
S251 and S252 switches on the internal AU-294 board.

q

s

LEVEL (intercom level) switch (for the CA-590P)

Selects the reception level adjustment method for the 
intercoms connected to the INCOM 1/2 connectors.

REAR

:  Select this position to adjust the reception level of 

the intercoms using the PGM1/2 controls, TRACKER 
control, ENG control, and PROD control 
independently.

FRONT

:  When this position is selected, audio volume of 

the program, reception level of the intercom connected 
to the TRACKER connector, and the reception level of 
the engineer's line and the producer's line are adjusted 
at one operation using the control on the video camera.

t

PGM1/2 controls (for the CA-590P)

These controls adjust the audio volume of the program. 
PGM1 control adjusts the program audio input from the 
INCOM1 connector and the PGM2 control adjusts the 
program audio input from the INCOM2 connector.

u

TRACKER control (for the CA-590P)

Adjusts the reception level of the intercom connected to 
the TRACKER connector.

v

ENG (engineer) control (for the CA-590P)

Adjusts the reception level of the engineer's line.

w

PROD (producer) control (for the CA-590P)

Adjusts the reception level of the producer's line.

x

MIC (microphone level) switches (for the CA-590P)

Select the connection line of the intercom microphone 
independently for the intercoms connected to the INCOM 
1/2 connectors.

PROD

:  Connects the intercom microphone to the
