  • Connecting External LAV to Zoom H4n

    Hi,
    I’m having trouble connecting a Stereo SP LAV to the Sony Zoom H4n. I have tried both the external mic (on the back of the zoom) and a cable adaptor which hooks up to the mic connections 1 & 2. My guess is that I need to change the settings in the H4n menu. What to do? Thanks!!!

    I dont know your mic but
    Does it (mic) have a battery in it?
    Does it (mic) need a battery in it
    Does it need powering from the zoom (ie 48v phantom?)
    What connector are you using to connect. balanced XLR?
    Have you selected buttons 1 and 2 to enable the rear record inputs
    Are your audio record gains up
    Have you tried a different mic (success/ fail)
