bullet02When using a Unidirectional microphone AG-MC200G (optional), set [INPUT1 MIC LEVEL]/[INPUT2 MIC LEVEL] to [character_minus_regular50dB].

bullet02After detaching the external microphone (XLR, 3-pin), switch the CH1 SELECT/CH2 SELECT switch to <INT(L)> or <INT(R)> to set the input signal to the built-in microphone. No audio will be recorded if you continue to record as is.

bullet02When connecting equipment that does not support +48 V power supply, set the <INPUT1>/<INPUT2> switch to <LINE> or <MIC>. If set to <character_plus_regular48V>, this unit or the connected equipment may malfunction.

bullet02If an abnormality occurs with the +48 V power supply, the power of this unit will turn off.

bullet02Using a phantom microphone shortens the battery time.

bullet02When noise from unconnected terminals is bothersome, set the <INPUT1>/<INPUT2> switch to <LINE>.
