Connecting An External Microphone Or External Audio Input Source To The Camera - Canon EOS C300 Mark II Instruction Manual

Connecting an External Microphone or External Audio Input Source to the Camera

To each of the INPUT terminals you can attach commercially available microphones or analog line in sources with
an XLR connector. To the MIC terminal you can attach commercially available condenser microphones with their
own power supply, and a ∅ 3.5 mm stereo mini plug.
In order to use the INPUT terminals, the supplied monitor unit or optional MA-400 Microphone Adapter* must be
correctly attached to the camera. These units have a microphone holder where you can fix external microphones
with a diameter of 19 mm to 20 mm.
* Like the monitor unit, the MA-400 can be attached to the camera's body or handle unit, but it offers only audio terminals and
controls.
