Source - Select Microphone for an external microphone or Line for a Line in d
evice, e.g. an audio mixer for multiple microphones or
a microphone with a built-in amplifier.
Microphone power - The Enable microphone power option provides DC power for an external microphone. Microphone power
should only be used with microphones that have no battery. This setting should not be enabled when using a dynamic or battery
powered microphone. Microp hone power will
not harm the microphone; if you are uncertain, try switching it off and on. To use a
professional microphone requiring 48V phantom po wer, you need an external power supply and a balanced-unbalanced converter
(audio transformer) in between.
Input gain - Control the volume (dB Full Scale) of the audio inp ut. If the sound is too low, choose a higher dB, to amplify the
sound. If the sound is too high, choose a lower dB. The Level bar gives a visual representation of the audio signa l le v el in dB
relative to the full-scale i nput level.

Encoding - Select digital audio encoding format.
• AAC requires a license for both encoding and decoding. AAC is the least complicated and most widely used codec.
