Other microphones with a diameter of 21mm can
also be used, however, ensure that the phantom
power and the sensitivity of the input that match
that type of microphone are correctly selected in
the camera systems menu. Refer to Section 6 for
more information on selecting the audio inputs and
controlling the audio level.
Note:
· When longer microphones are used, it is not
necessary to place them in the split tube.
· For optimum operation, the microphone should
be mounted as straight as possible.
· Don't allow the wind hood to touch the holder (7)
as this reduces the damping effect.
· By placing the split facing upwards, the
microphone cable does not touch the holder thus
avoiding mechanical pick-up.
· The microphone can also be connected to the
rear of the Triax adapter where a switch selects
the input. Refer to Operator's Guide Triax adaptor
for more information on connecting the
microphone to the rear connector.
