b Notes
• If the switch is set to MIC+48V and you connect
a device that is not compatible with +48V
power, it may damage the connected device.
Check the switch before connecting the device.
• To prevent unwanted noise when no audio
device is connected to the INPUT1 or INPUT2
jack, set the INPUT1/INPUT2 (LINE/MIC/
MIC+48V) switch (C or G) to "LINE."

SHOE) switch D and CH-2 (INT
MIC/EXT/MI SHOE) switch H to
"EXT."

Set the input level of the external
audio device.
When the INPUT1/INPUT2 (LINE/

set to "MIC" or "MIC+48V," the XLR
microphone input level can be set using
[INPUT1 TRIM]/[INPUT2 TRIM] in
the menu (p. 106). Adjust the setting
based on the sensitivity of the
microphone.
z Tip
• When using a stereo microphone that has two
XLR plugs, connect the left channel (L) to the
INPUT1 jack A and the right channel (R) to
the INPUT2 jack B, then set the CH-1 (INT
MIC/EXT/MI SHOE) switch D and CH-2
(INT MIC/EXT/MI SHOE) switch H to
