This input port allows you to replace the
center microphone in the H4 SuperMINI
Head with a separate microphone of your
own choosing. It can be any type of
microphone: shotgun, hand-held, lavalier,
wireless.
You can adjust the input level using the
External Microphone Gain Control on the rear
of the Control Unit (see below).
The use of an external center microphone is
particularly useful for dialogue, interviews,
and Electronic News Gathering (ENG).
Traditionally, in these applications, on
playback, a center channel speaker is used
for the dialogue and the surround speakers
provide ambience. It is perfect for on the spot
interviews to separate the dialogue from the
ambiance instantly on camera.

phantom power (48 volts) for the external
center microphone. Press to toggle phantom
power on and off.
