Connecting input devices
Using the built-in XY microphone
The M4 has 2 mic units in an inward-facing XY stereo arrangement.
By having the left and right diaphragms facing inward toward each other, a wide recording range can be
covered while also clearly capturing sound in the center.
Furthermore, since the positions of sound capture are almost the same, phase differences between the left
and right channels will not occur.
Connecting mics and other devices to INPUT 1/2
In addition to input from the built-in XY mic, the M4 also has INPUT 1 and 2, along with a MIC/LINE IN jack
that supports plug-in power, and is capable of recording up to 4 tracks total.
Mics, mixers and other devices can be connected to INPUT 1/2.
