The microphone jack supports a single sound channel (monaural)
microphone with a 3.5-mm plug. A powered, single sound
channel, electret condenser microphone is recommended.
■
If you use a stereo microphone, only the left channel will be
recorded.

If you use a dynamic microphone, the recommended
sensitivity will not be achieved.
When an external microphone is connected to the computer, the
computer microphone is disabled.
