Recording Audio Recording Audio The camcorder features two-channel linear PCM audio recording and playback with a sampling frequency of 48 kHz. You can record audio using commercially available microphones (XLR terminal, MIC terminal) or line input (XLR terminal). You can select the audio input independently for channel 1 and channel 2. 91 An audio signal will also be output with the video signal from the HD/SD SDI terminal. You can record this audio signal on an external recorder. Operating modes: Connecting an External Microphone or External Audio Input Source to the Camcorder In order to use the XLR terminals, the monitor unit must be attached to the camcorder. The monitor unit features two XLR terminals (CH1/CH2) that can be used to record audio independently to the two audio channels. In addition to XLR microphones, you can also attach to the camcorder's MIC terminal commercially available condenser microphones with their own power supply and a ∅ 3.5 mm mini-stereo plug*. If the monitor unit is attached to the camcorder, you can use the microphone holder on the monitor unit. * For PAL recordings, use commercially available microphones with a cable no longer than 3 m.
