Using the built-in microphone/external microphone (stereo mini jack)

When an external microphone (stereo mini jack) is connected to the <MIC> terminal, audio switches from the built-in microphone to the audio input of the external microphone connected to the <MIC> terminal.

character_diamondWhen the handle unit is attached to the unit icon_model-x2100/icon_model-x1600

Make the following settings to switch to audio input from the built-in microphone or external microphone (stereo mini jack).


  1. Set the CH1 SELECT switch to the <INT/MIC (L)> position.

The audio signals from <L> of the built-in microphone or the Lch of the external microphone connected to the <MIC> terminal are recorded to audio channel 1.

  1. Set the CH2 SELECT switch to the <INT/MIC (R)> position.

The audio signals from <R> of the built-in microphone or the Rch of the external microphone connected to the <MIC> terminal are recorded to audio channel 2.


bullet02To decrease the wind noise of the microphone, select the [AUDIO] menu character_arrow [INPUT SETTINGS] character_arrow [CH1 MIC LOWCUT]/[CH2 MIC LOWCUT] character_arrow [ON].


Using audio equipment/external microphone (XLR, 3-pin) [X2100]/[X1600]

  1. Attach the handle unit to the unit.

  1. Connect an audio device or an external microphone to the <INPUT 1>/<INPUT 2> terminal.

  1. Switch the connected audio input with the <INPUT1>/<INPUT2> switch.

bullet02When using a Unidirectional microphone AG-MC200G (optional), set [INPUT1 MIC LEVEL]/[INPUT2 MIC LEVEL] to [−50dB].

bullet02When the handle unit is detached, audio input switches to the built-in microphone/external microphone (stereo mini jack).

bullet02After detaching the external microphone (XLR, 3-pin), switch the CH1 SELECT/CH2 SELECT switch to <INT/MIC (L)> or <INT/MIC (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 <+48V>, 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>.
