Audio Set-Up - JVC GY-HM100U Manual

Audio Set-Up

1)
Position the mics where they will be used.
2)
If necessary, insert batteries into the mics.
3)
Connect each mic to a mic cable.
4)
Set-up the mixer near the camera and plug into the nearest outlet.
5)
Connect each mic cable to an input on the mixer. When doing this, you should
always try to hook up the mics in order from left to right when facing the set. In
other words, the left most mic on the set gets hooked to input #1, the next mic to
input #2, and so on. This will make it easier for the person operating the mixer to
look at the set and match up input channels with people.
6)
Check that the input switches on the mixer are set correctly (mic / line).
7)
Connect the output from the mixer to the camera.
8)
Check that the output switch is set correctly (mic / line).
9)
Turn the mixer on.
10)
Turn the microphones on.
Turn the camera on, if it's not already on.
11)
12)
Connect the headphones to the camera and put them on.
13)
Turn the MASTER Level Control Dial up to 5.
14)
Turn up the Input Level Control Dial for one of the mics.
15)
Ask someone to speak into the mic and adjust the Input Level Control Dial to get
a good recording level.
16)
If you need to turn up the Input Level Control Dial past 8, turn up the MASTER
Level Control Dial.
17)
Make a note of the setting for the Input Level Control Dial and turn it down to 0.
18)
Go back to step 14 and repeat for each mic.
19)
If someone else will be operating the mixer, review the mic/mixer setup with
them.
