NOTE It is standard practice to plug in your XLR cable before switching phantom
power on. It is also important to switch phantom power to ‘off’ when you no longer
have a phantom powered microphone connected. Connecting equipment that
doesn’t require phantom power when still in phantom power mode can damage your
equipment, as the camera outputs a charge when in this mode. Phantom power can
also take quite a while to discharge after switching it off.
Please be aware that you should wait a few minutes when switching off phantom
power before plugging in any other microphones or XLR audio equipment.
