What kind of MIC do I need for my VIXIA camcorder?
With regard to a connection to an external source, such as your mixer, unless the mixer can provide a Mic level output, it won’t work. This camcorder cannot accept a line-level input. Microphones should meet the following specifications: 3.5mm stereo minijack, -64 dBV (with a 600 Ohm microphone) / 5k Ohms or more.
Is the Vixia HF R600 external mic not working?
I have the VIXIA HF R600 and my external Rode Mic does not work as well. When I plug it in there is no sound recording and it does not show levels. If I slightly pull the jack out I get visual mic levels but it records audio faint in the background and with a lot of static.
Can you use phantom power on a camcorder?
Because this camcorder cannot provide “phantom” power for the microphone, an “active” microphone (requiring external power) must supply its own power. For specific assistance, I recommend contacting the local sound or music shop where you may already shop.
What kind of external mic does Canon use?
I purchased a TRRS lapel mic, but apparently the external mic port is a TRS port. I then purchased a TRRS to TRS adapter, but that was a waste of money since the expernal mic still didn’t work. I just received a TRS lapel mic but that doesn’t work either. I do have a TRS external Takstar SGC 598 mic and tested that on the Canon.
