Can you plug an external microphone into this?

Kevin W., I just double-checked this specific videocam again. There is no way to connect an external mic. There is 1 slot labeled "AV", but this is merely for playback purposes. The included cord that fits into this slot has at its other end the typical 3 jacks, colored red, yellow, and white.

Yes, make sure you select it as your default audio output with the USB dongle. If not you can buy a cable where you connect the red&white; plugs into it and it comes out as a dual 3.5mm output for audio and input for microphone.

There is no external audio input. I just use a separate audio recording system and sync it back into the video during post production. Unfortunate, but at this price? It's worth it.

Yes you can. It's identified as 'External Digital Audio In (Optical)' on page 11 of the user manual, and on the back of the unit. It's a square receptacle.

Not really. This microphone needs phantom power, so you need an interface on the other end that can provide power to the microphone.

No microphone. Some cables offered have mic wire for external mic or different model.

Sorry but no. Like most similar recorders, plugging onto one of the connectors from an external source disables the built-in mics. To do what you are asking requires an external mixer.

No, I don't think so. I just looked at it and there isn't a mic input. I can't imagine any of the other ports supporting this, so I have to so no.

No, I don't think so. This is strictly a handheld. The external mic feature usaully comes with a mounted VHF in a cabin for easy use at the helm.

Unfortunately no without a USB sound box which can accept dynamic microphone input.

Yes it can be plugged into a computer but I never got the microphone to work.

No. You need a preamp that provides phantom power like a juicedLink or similar. Another option would be a mic that has it's own preamp like a Rode VideoMic.

There an xlr input for external mics. I used a sony wireless system on the cam.

No, there's an external power supply for this. Just connect the green audio cable.

Yes it allows connection of an external microphone for special recording applications.

No, when you plug in an external mic the external mic overrides the built in microphones
