Phantom power
To activate phantom power, use the menu to navigate to the
SOUND submenu, then select the L or R PHTM PWR setting.
Use the up/down buttons to select PHANTOM POWER ON,
then left/right or ENTER to save your choice.
It is possible to use microphones that do not rely on phantom
power with the D16. To use these microphones, navigate to the
SOUND menu and turn off phantom power for that XLR port.
Warning: Never plug a non-phantom powered mic into a D16
XLR port unless you are sure that phantom power is turned off.
This may damage the sound board of the camera.
Adjusting the recording volume
Like any pro audio-recorder, The D16 allows you to adjust the
volume of both individual audio channels for optimal recording
from each connected microphone.
The D16 has a built-in audio recorder that captures production-
level sound from external microphones. The D16 records two
channels of 24-bit, 96kHz (or 44kHz) audio in the AIFF format.
The D16 comes with two phantom-powered XLR ports (L) and
(R) on the left-side of the camera for recording audio from two
different mics, such as a boom, shotgun, or lavalier. There is
also a Line-in port for smaller, self-powered microphones.
Powering on the mic ports
Plug in one or more mics to the XLR ports or the Line-in port.
There are only 2 audio channels, so you may only have 2
microphones plugged in at any time.
Use the menu to navigate to the SOUND submenu. Then select
the CH 1 MIC or CH 2 MIC setting, depending on which port
you are using. Turn the channel ON to utilize that XLR port, or
select Line-in to use the Line-in port for that channel instead.
