xha1 microphone
Hallo Guys,
i want to buy an external microphone for my XHA1 and i need to know if the microphones mounted on the xl's series are compatibles (xlh1 or xl2) in order to use the mic-in on the camera handle (mini-jack) and not the xlr . Thanks in advance Mario |
Mario,
If it is a 3.5 mm male mic connector, it will be compatible. |

Thank's Michael, what you think about,what is better, an old xl's series microphone or a commercial-compatible xlr mic (sony-panasonic),i would prefer a old xl's because once plugged into the mini-jack in, the microphone on board is automatically switched off, otherwise, with xlr, i have to open the menu...

Mario,
I think that option is up to you. the xha1 gives you many options. Me, personnally, would use my BEST external mic availible. The mic connection would determine how I would connect it to the xha1. Switching to the xlr connections is quite easy in the menu....it takes about 5 secs to do. So I would not use that as the reason to use a mic with a mini-jack connector. I use a shotgun mic with xlr connections. I use a very short xlr cable if I mount it on the camera AND I have longer cables if I choose to use a boom pole or place it on a stand. Hope this helps.

Mario,
it all depends on what you plan to use your camera for. If you need suggestions (in Italian!) please PM me. ciao Vasco |
Note that the XH-A1 DOES NOT provide the 5 VDC power required by the standard Canon mics that come with the XL series camcorders.

thank's to everybody
...ok Don, thank's for your entry ,my dubt is disappear,now i know that the old xl's series mic are not compatible with my xha1.
Michael, you're right, are enough 5 seconds to switch the mic on xlr option, so have no sense a mini-jack mic (anyway, if my choice was only for this gap). Vasco, you got a mail, "IN ITALIAN" (you suggest me to do it) i appreciate it. thank's guys Mario |
Don, thanks for that insight.
Mario, good luck in finding a mic to support your needs. |
