If using the boom mic from an audio kit set the
Source Switch to Mic +48V Phantom Power
and say Yes when prompted. Do not use phantom
power if the mic you are using has its own
battery.
Turn up to the Input Level to at least the 12:00
position. If you're mic is connected correctly you
should see audio levels on the VU meters.
The triangle below the timecode indicates -12db.
Your audio levels should be getting close to or
hitting that mark. If they are not see below.
Check Gain Level
Check your mic gain level: Depending on your
setup you may need to adjust this setting most
likely to Mid Level. Menu > Input Setting > Ch. 1
> Mid
Low is often too quiet, but be careful not to set it
higher than it needs to be. This will boost your
audio level, but can introduce unwanted noise to
your signal.
