Page 6: Battery Installation
Battery Installation 1) The SVM operates on a standard 9V battery (ANSI:1604A or IEC:6LR61). We recommend you use either Alkaline or Lithium batteries for the longest continuous operating time. 2) The SVM will run continuously for over 60 hrs. with a good quality Alkaline battery. It is however important to understand that battery performance can vary dramatically with ambient temperature... - Page 7 Mounting Your SVM 4) The SVM incorporates a standard camera-shoe mount on the bottom of the microphone (fi g. 4).Designed to reduce camera borne motor and handling noise, the shock mount has a 3/8” x 16 threaded insert for mounting on tripods and poles.
- Page 8 Mounting Your SVM cont. 6) The SVM delivers a mic level signal to the video camera via a stereo mini jack audio lead. The mini jack should be connected to the camera via the camera’s “Audio- In” socket (fi g. 7), - refer to your video camera user manual.
- Page 9 SVM Controls cont. 8) It is now time to set the camera’s audio level. To ensure the optimum signal you will need to set the VU meter on the camera to read around “3/4” or “75%” on the sound ‘peaks’. Most cameras will allow you to access this setting through the camera menu.
