Solution | You can record audio using the built-in stereo microphone, commercially available external microphone (INPUT 1/INPUT 2 terminals*, MIC terminal) or line input (INPUT 1/INPUT 2 terminals*). Using the INPUT 1/INPUT 2 terminals, you can select the audio input independently for channel 1 (CH1) and channel 2 (CH2). When you are recording AVCHD movies and the recording mode is set to 28 Mbps LPCM (59.94P) or 24 Mbps LPCM, you can enjoy two-channel linear PCM audio recording with a sampling frequency of 48 kHz. LPCM audio playback is also available for scenes recorded with those recording modes.
This camcorder features many convenient options for recording audio. The following table provides a summary of selecting the audio recorded to channel 1, which depends on whether the handle unit is attached, the position of the INPUT terminal ON/ OFF switch, and whether a microphone or analog audio source is connected to the MIC terminal. See 'Recording Audio to Channel 2 (CH2)' for details about channel 2.

Using the Built-in or External Microphone Connected to the MIC Terminal Follow the step below to use the built-in microphone or an external microphone connected to the MIC terminal. Use commercially available condenser microphones with their own power supply and a 3.5 mm mini-stereo plug. Set the INPUT terminal ON/OFF switch to OFF. ![]()
Connecting an External Microphone or External Audio Input Source to the Camcorder
1. Connect the microphone to the input terminal. 2. Set the INPUT terminal ON/OFF switch to ON. ![]() 3. Set the sensitivity switches for INPUT 1/INPUT 2 to MIC. ![]() To supply a microphone with phantom power, set the switch to MIC+48V instead. Make sure to connect the microphone first, before turning the phantom power on. Keep the microphone connected when turning off the phantom power.
You can select the audio source that will be recorded to channel 2.

You can set the audio recording level for audio input to automatic or manual independently for each channel. Automatic: Set the audio level switch of the desired channel to A (automatic). ![]()
Manual: When you adjust the audio recording level manually, you can set the level (from to 18 dB) independently for each channel. 1. Set the audio level switch of the desired channel to M (manual). ![]() 2. Turn the corresponding audio level dial to adjust the level.
Adjusting the Microphones Sensitivity (INPUT terminals) You can adjust the sensitivity of the input of the INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 terminals. You can set the sensitivity switch of the desired INPUT terminal to MIC or MIC+48V. 1. Touch [ ![]() ![]() 2. Touch [ ![]() ![]() 3. ![]() ![]() ![]() 4. Touch the desired level.
