Using An External Microphone - Sony HDW-730 Operation Manual

5-5-2 Using an External Microphone

You can connect up to two external monaural microphones using the
AUDIO IN CH-1 and CH-2 connectors. When using a condenser
microphone that requires external power (phantom power), set the LINE/
MIC/+48 V ON switch to +48 V ON.
If the microphone being used does not require external power (dynamic
microphone), set the LINE/MIC/+48 V ON switch to MIC.
Using a detached external microphone
AUDIO IN switch: At the factory setting,
when the audio cable is connected
to either the AUDIO IN CH-1 or CH-2 connector,
the signal input to the AUDIO IN CH-1 or CH-2 connector is
automatically selected as the signal to be recorded. This is true
regardless of the AUDIO IN switch setting. (This is called XLR
connection automatic detection function.)
When the XLR connection automatic detection function is set to
OFF on the VTR MODE 1 page of the MAINTENANCE menu, set
the AUDIO IN switch corresponding to the channel to which the
microphone is connected to REAR.
Using a detached external microphone
Set the LINE/MIC/+48 V ON
switch to +48 V ON if you use
an external power supply type
microphone. Otherwise, set
the switch to MIC.
