What do I need to record sound from a microphone with a 3-pin XLR output?
I want to record sound and narration for a video being shot with a mini-DV camera. I have an Azden SGM-2X shotgun microphone, which has only an XLR port. Eventually the data has to make its way to a computer, for editing. For the best quality, would I need to connect the mic to the camera, a computer, or to some other recording device? Exactly what type of cable would I need to use in each case?
Actually, I’m referring more to what kind of cable I need to connect the microphone to a computer, or the camera or whatever. The camera only has one black port, my computer has three colored ones, and nothing like the one on the microphone.
A 3-pin XLR connector is typically used for a balanced, low impedance mic. They can easily be wire as an unbalanced mic but you need to match the mic impedance to the input of whatever you are using to record the audio on. If your camera has an external mic input it might be good to use that if you can. This keeps the audio in sync with the video. Even if you edit the audio later you will know how it should sync with the video.
As long as your audio recorder is a quality device it shouldn’t make any difference what you use to record it.
