I just attached my Rode Pro Shotgun Mic to the Camcorder, though I am not sure how to turn off (or at least decrease) the camera’s built-in audio so that the Rode is independently working. Thank you for your help!

Hello - I'm using two wireless lav mics (that are fed into a receiver and plugged into the XLR) but am only getting sound in one ear. Can you help me? I only need them on one channel, nothing hugely professional. It's for an acting class. thank you!
You cannot have multiple mics transmitting to a single receiver (unless the receiver is a multi-channel receiver). It is always 1-1. So 2 mics would require 2 separate receivers and sets of frequencies (or 2 separate outs in the case of a multi-channel receiver), each connected to one of the two XLR inputs. Depending on the monitoring settings you might be able to select which channel you wish to hear on both L/R (if 1 mic you'd just assign that input to both channels). Don't worry about that; it is easily resolved in post (example: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hudTLs1PGPM.html )
My Debra 2 wireless mics have a TRS jack female output port. The "to camera" cable is TRS male to TRS male. My UX-90 has female XLR ports. So I bought a TRS male to XLR male splitter cable. It will work on one XLR input port but not both ports. How can I use a wireless 2 mic system? Both mics set to same channel or should they be set to different channels? Or one receiver for each mic input port?
Only a dual receiver will work in that case and you'll either have 2 XLRs from it or it'll feature a digital slot-in connection (which this camera doesn't support). All wireless mics need to be 1-1 with their pairing (transmitter to receiver). That's why in motion pictures there is a location sound dept that is mixing and handling all of the wireless on set and either combining that or capturing as a multi-track recording for later sync and post work. In this case you would need 2 receivers and 2 mics tuned to different frequencies. Each receiver would then be connected to its own XLR input on the recording device/camera.
@@theAVcoach in fact I got it to work. The cable from the wireless receiver is a TRS male to XLR male splitter cable. It splits into 2 XLR males. One XLR male to each mic port on the camera. When I put one transmitter on ch 16 and the other on ch 19 everything worked. Mic #2 volume was slightly lower so I adjusted that on the camera. When I had both mics on the same channel the sound was terrible.
The test will be April 19th. I’m filming a kickboxing event at Motor City Casino. Normally I’m a ring photographer at pro boxing. Cross your fingers for me.
I am convinced that having the 2 transmitters use 2 different channels was the fix. One on channel 16 and the other channel 19. Before I had each on channel 15. That caused a problem. After separating the channels the receiver or the camera figured out what was going on and sent one signal to mic input port #1 and the other mic input port #2.
I am still having trouble hocking up a lavalier mic to the camera. When I try it I cut out the microphone that is attached to the camera . Could you explain more on how to do it?
wireless or corded? a battery powered wireless lavalier won't care if it's on Mic or +48 but a corded will need 48. At least my sennheiser ones do. I hope you found out long ago :p

@@geRswAgencia I don't see why it would not work. If you are also recording the internal on channel 1, you might not hear channel 2 if your lavalier is recording in it. But nevertheless you should be able to see if it takes on the display. But I cannot say for certain that the XLR to minijack adapter is not the problem. Maybe it only takes XLR mics.
It is the Azden SGM-PDII but you could also probably look at the Audio-Technica AT875R; both are budget-friendly and around the same price. Just check with your dealer to ensure that whatever you select will fit in the on-board mic holder (sometimes they can be a bit smaller and slide through, requiring you to build up their physical size which is not ideal). Panasonic also makes the AG-MC200G which you might want to look into.
