• Microphone
• Microphone cable (male-XLR to female-XLR connectors)
• An audio direct box (which you can purchase from any professional audio equip-
ment dealer)
• A 1/4 inch (phone jack) to RCA cable
• A female RCA to dual-male RCA “Y” Adapter
To connect a microphone:
1 Using the microphone cable, connect it to the XLR (balanced) input on the Direct Box.
2 Plug the 1/4-inch-to-RCA cable into the 1/4-inch (unbalanced) output on the Direct
Box.
3 Attach the RCA “Y” adapter to the 1/4-inch-to-RCA cable.
4 Plug the two male ends of the RCA “Y” Adapter into the Channel 4 R and L audio
inputs on the MXProDV rear panel. Connecting to this channel allows you to use the
microphone as a background source, if desired.
To control the volume of the microphone, use the Background Music slider on the
Audio Mixer screen (see “Using the Audio Mixer” beginning on page 141).
