  DVX100B Audio Input 1 not working

  Posted by Kimba Kat on August 12, 2009 at 5:36 pm

  I have a DVX100Bp

  Whatever microphone I plug into Input 1..it does not work.
  Microphones work fine when I plug into Input 2.

  I noticed in the manual a “Phantom” microphone is discussed..but never defined. Is this my issue?

  thanks

  Phantom power (also known as +48V) is required by certain kinds of microphones to function. These are generally wired condenser mics without batteries.

  If phantom power is turned off on input 1 and your microphone requires it to function, that could be your problem.

  Are ure sure your mic/cable are working?

  If so, check the front of the camera to insure the mic/line switch is set to Mic and that your audio level knob is not in the complete counter-clockwise position.
