Setting The Audio Input Type For The Input 1/Input 2 Terminals; Selecting The Audio Input Source For Audio Channels - Canon EOS C500 Mark II Instruction Manual

Setting the Audio Input Type for the INPUT 1/INPUT 2 Terminals

Using the INPUT 1/INPUT 2 terminals, you can record audio independently from a microphone or audio input
source.
Set the INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 switch to AES/EBU (digital audio),
LINE (analog audio device) or MIC (analog microphone).
• To supply an analog microphone with phantom power, set the
switch to MIC+48V instead. Make sure to connect the microphone
first, before turning the phantom power on. Keep the microphone
connected when turning off the phantom power.
• When the switch is set to AES/EBU, the audio recording level for
that input cannot be adjusted.
• When using the INPUT terminals to record to only one channel,
use the INPUT 1 terminal.
IMPORTANT
• When connecting an analog microphone or device that does not support phantom power, make sure to set
the corresponding INPUT switch to MIC or LINE, respectively. If you set the switch to MIC+48V, the
microphone or device may be damaged.

Selecting the Audio Input Source for Audio Channels

In CAMERA mode, you can select the audio input source that will be recorded on CH1/CH2 or CH3/CH4,
independently for each pair of audio channels. For details refer to the
Channels
table (A 99).

• When an optional EU-V2 Expansion Unit 2 with a commercially available V-mount battery is attached to the
camera, the [INPUT Terminals] option changes to [INPUT Terminals (Camera)] and you have an additional
option [INPUT Terminals (Exp. Unit)] (only for [CH3/CH4]) to record audio from the INPUT terminals on the
EU-V2.
About the monaural microphone
The monaural microphone allows you to add comments while shooting,
which can be synchronized to the audio and video during editing. The audio
recording level of the monaural microphone is adjusted automatically and
cannot be changed.
