Recording with the external microphone connected to the XLR/TRS jack(s)

You can connect an external microphone (commercially available) to the XLR/TRS jack(s) on the linear PCM recorder and use it for recording.

  1. Slide the phantom power switch(es) to [OFF].
  2. Connect an external microphone to the XLR/TRS jack(s) on the linear PCM recorder.

    To record in stereo, connect the microphone to both of the XLR/TRS jacks for the left (L) and right (R) channels. To record in monaural, connect it to the XLR/TRS jack for the left (L) channel.

    Adjust the position of the microphone. For the characteristics of the microphone, refer to the operating instructions supplied with it.

  3. Slide the INPUT switch to [XLR/TRS].

  4. Slide the XLR/TRS INPUT LEVEL switch to [MIC].

    When the microphone is connected to both of the XLR/TRS jacks for the left (L) and right (R) channels, slide both of the switches for the left (L) and right (R) channels.

  5. If the connected external microphone supports phantom power, slide the phantom power switch(es) to [ON].

    Power is supplied to the connected microphone.

  6. Follow steps 3 through 7 in Recording with the built-in microphones to start recording.
  7. To record in monaural, press the OPTION button while recording is on standby to display the OPTION menu, select [Stereo/Monaural] - [Monaural (L)], and then press.

Note

  • When a device is connected to the XLR/TRS jack(s) and either or both of the left and right XLR/TRS INPUT LEVEL switches are placed in the [LINE] position, the LIMITER and LCF(Low Cut) functions do not work.

  • Before connecting or disconnecting an external microphone or device, make sure that the phantom power switch is placed in the [OFF] position. If you plug or unplug the cable of the connected device while the switch is placed in the [ON] position, it may produce a loud noise or cause the device to malfunction.

  • While the phantom power switch is placed in the [ON] position, the linear PCM recorder consumes more power. When you do not intend to use an external microphone with phantom power support, slide the switch to [OFF].
