2.3 Mounting a microphone
To attach a microphone to the camcorder proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the knurled screw and open the microphone holder.
2. Place the microphone inside the rubber jaws of the holder.
3. Don’t allow the wind hood to touch the holder as this reduces the mechanical damping
effect.
4. Close the holder and tighten the knurled screw .
5. Connect the microphone XLR cable to the camcorder’s MIC audio connector on the right
side of the camcorder.
– The camcorder’s microphone connector supplies phantom power (+48 VDC).
– Ensure that the input sensitivity is correctly selected in the camcorder menu to match the
type of microphone you are using. Active microphones have a typical sensitivity of +20dB.
6. To avoid mechanical pick-up, do not let the microphone cable touch the holder.
7. Place the microphone cable into the top clip at the front of the camcorder to guide the
cable.
