Using another microphone and audio
equipment
1
Connect an external microphone or audio
equipment to the AUDIO INPUT 1/2 (XLR,
3 pin) terminal. (Page 101)
2
Use the INPUT 1/2 switch to switch the
audio input.
LINE:
(audio equipment is connected)
Input level is 0 dBu.
MIC:
(another microphone is connected)
Input level is – 50 dBu.
You can change the input level to – 40 dBu or
– 60 dBu in the setup menus, RECORDING
SETUP screen MIC GAIN1 and MIC GAIN2.
(Page 144)
Be aware that sensitivity will be higher if you
choose – 60 dBu so you will record more
noise.
• When using an AG-MC200G (optional), set
MIC GAIN to – 50 dBu.
When using the phantom microphone
Set the INPUT 1/2 switch (MIC POWER
+48 V) to ON.
ON:
(When using the phantom microphone)
+48V power supply to INPUT 1/2 terminal.
OFF:
(When a phantom microphone is not
connected)
No power supply for INPUT 1/2 terminal.
• The battery will discharge faster if you
use a phantom microphone.
• Set to OFF if you connect equipment not
compatible with +48V. You can damage
such equipment if you leave the setting at
ON.

(Page 52)
• When signals from an external microphone
are to be input to CH1 and CH2, connect the
external microphone to the AUDIO INPUT 2
terminal, and switch both AUDIO CH1 SELECT

Adjusting the audio recording level
automatically
AUDIO AUTO/MANU CH1,
CH2 switch
Set the AUDIO AUTO/MANU CH1 or CH2 switch
to AUTO position.
Adjust the audio signal recording level input
through the built-in microphone and the AUDIO
INPUT1/2 terminals (XLR, 3 pin) automatically.
• CH1/CH2 can be set separately.
• When AUTO is set, the recording level adjustment
using the AUDIO LEVEL knob and the setting
in the LIMITER CH1/LIMITER CH2 item of the
setup menu AUDIO SETUP screen (Page 143) are
disabled.
Since the audio signal recording level is
adjusted automatically, the zoom operation
sound may be recorded if zooming quickly,
depending on the environment. In that case,
adjust the audio recording level in manual
mode.
