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.
104
Set the INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 switch to AES/EBU (digital audio),
LINE (analog audio device) or MIC (analog microphone).
• When a terminal's INPUT (audio source selection) 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
• Using an analog microphone that requires phantom power
- Be sure to connect/disconnect the microphone with the camera
turned off or when the respective INPUT switch is set to the MIC
position. Only after the microphone is connected, set the switch to MIC+48V.
- The same applies also to INPUT terminals on an optional EU-V2 Expansion Unit 2 attached to the camera.
• To connect a microphone or other audio device that is not compatible with phantom power to an INPUT
terminal, make sure the respective INPUT (audio source selection) switch is set to a position that matches the
device (AES/EBU, LINE or MIC). Setting the switch to MIC+48V may damage the audio device.

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 100).
1 Select
2 Select [INPUT Terminals] (external microphone or audio device), [MIC Terminal] (external
microphone) or [Monaural Mic] (built-in microphone).
• 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.
