PMW-320 has a 4pin XLR input for the on-board mic.
I see the 320 has a 5pin XLR input for the on-board mic.
My Sennheiser has a 3 pin XLR. If I can get hold of a 5pin XLR whats the correct wiring for the 5pin XLR. Thanks in advance. (Title should say 5pin XLR) |
Re: PMW-320 has a 4pin XLR input for the on-board mic.
As I read the spec, the 5-pin is an output. This would allow you to output whatever audio is hitting the cam. The inputs are two 3-pin xlr, and a d-sub 15 for a wireless cartridge receiver, which is usual for sony broadcast camcorders.
Whoops, reading further down the spec there may also be a 5-pin for mic input, in addition to the two 3-pins, that's a little unclear. Regardless, 5-pin is one of the standards for a two-channel signal, typically used with a stereo mic. An M/S stereo mic is especially popular in the EU and UK, where the BBC have mandated for many years that wild/ambient/atmos sound be recorded stereo - M/S for many sorts of programming. Here's the pinout: 5-pin xlr: 1. Shield 2. Ch 1 + Red (colors will vary with cable brand) 3. Ch 1 - Black 4. Ch 2 + Red 5. Ch 2 – Black If you wanted a short cable you'd probably use pins 1, 2 and 3 to send your Senn to Ch. 1, or, 1, 4, 5 to send it to Ch. 2. 3-pin xlr: 1. Shield 2. + Red 3. - Black |
