[4ch Mic Input]

To record 4-channel audio, use a commercially available XLR microphone connected to an XLR Microphone Adaptor (DMW-XLR1: optional) together with the built-in microphone.

By combining a Stereo Shotgun Microphone (DMW-MS2: optional) or a Stereo Microphone (VW-VMS10: optional) instead of using the built-in microphone, it is also possible to record 4-channel 96 kHz/24-bit high-resolution audio. (character_referenceExternal Microphones (Optional))
