Zoom F8 Recorder
TA3 to XLR Male Cables
10m XLR (x1 for single channel, x2 for two channels).
NOTE: Phantom power can blow up equipment
Turn off phantom power before plugging in.
1. CHANNEL NUMBER: Decide if you will send 1 or 2 channels of audio to camera.
2. C200 AUDIO INPUT SETTINGS (next to the inputs):
'ANALOG’ (not AES/EBU)
‘LINE’ for line level
If only sending one channel of audio to camera from the f8, plug a top mic into the second camera input.
2B. C200 AUDIO MENU SETTINGS
In the camera menu, set 'select ch 1/ch 2' to INPUT TERMINALS
In the camera menu set 'Channel 2 input' to INPUT 2
set ch3/ch4 to be the monaural (internal) mic (just as a backup!) - NOTE: if you're using the mp4 codec, you won't be able to choose ch3/4 because mp4 doesn't support extra audio channels. This is fine, don't worry about it).
3. CONNECT TA3 CABLES TO ZOOM F8 OUTPUTS:
TA3 connector
4. CONNECT 10m XLRs: Connect your XLR extension cables to the end of the short TA3-XLR cable you just plugged into the zoom.
5. CONNECT XLR TO CAMERA: Connect your XLR to the audio input of the c200.
6. TURN ON TONE: Turn on ‘TONE’ on the zoom by holding the silver toggle switch to the right for 2 seconds (until tone locks on).
7. SET LEVELS ON THE C200: Use the audio level wheels on the c200 (located at the back of the camera) to set your audio level on the c200 so the meter reads -20db.
TIP: Press audio status for bigger levels~
8. Pan your inputs on the zoom to separate audio channels on the camera:
On the zoom, press 'PFL', go to 'pan', and pan input 1 to 'L100' and input 2 to 'R100'.
7. PAN YOUR INPUTS ON THE ZOOM:
If you are running two channels of audio to the camera, you will need to pan your microphones to send them down either channel.
Press the ‘PFL’ button for the channel you want to adjust, scroll down and select 'Pan', set the panning to 'L100' for output 1, or 'R100' for output 2.
