I can tell you this. Looking now ONE OF EACH: mic input, AV out, HDMI out, and USB port. Does that help? I just charged the battery and am still learning. CONTACT MY SELLER: Adorama 800-223-2500. big outfit.

They also have a website which if you google the model you can find loads of info that will be helpful, thats how I did my research, good luck hope my answer helped you out

Yes, you can plug your headphones into this for monitoring the sound. Your camera needs to have an external microphone input to use this.

Hi there! This Sony DCR-SX45 doesn't have any input jack for microphone. -Ely

You can connect it using the instructions here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16M8_vzwAVrhhu8uGgZcbKfx4moTB-EBN-nuHmyhljU8/edit However, without modifying your camera as described, the microphone can not be connected to it as it has no external 3.5mm input.

Yes, you can add another microphone. But it is a USB end (not like a headphone jack)

I recommend a Fiio E6 amplifier between any microphone and camera, where the mic does not have a boost function. Without this, the sound may be poor and you may be tempted to blame the mic when the problem is actually in the camera.

Hi, yes you may be able to connect an external microphone to this Sony camera. This unit has microphone jack (stereo mini plug). -Ely

The camera doesn't supply phantom power, so, don't buy anything XLR if you get this camera. Just get a standard audio plug-supported mic.

There is no way to connect an external audio source. The only audio option is the on-board mic....which is not bad, but not something you'd want to use for most productions...especially live streaming. I suppose it would be possible to crack open the handle near the mic, disconnect the on-board mic and rig up some kind of direct connection, but I've never tried it. It's a great camera...lots of options for people like me who live in the SD/HD world. But, when it comes to recording quality audio for video productions, I have to use a separate mic and audio recorder and then sync it up with the video in post. Not fun, but it works!

This camera is one we have. It has a built in microphone (stereo) and it has an external microphone jack for plugging in a microphone (mono). If you have xlr, you will need an xlr to 1/8" mono jack adapter.

I am not sure what type of audio input your have on your camera, but the transmitter comes with a 3.5mm jack and a 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter.

Hi Donald, no you can't. The camcorder does not have a shoe to connect the external mic to. Thanks_Mitch

You will need some kind of audio software. This is not a standalone hardware piece you can simply plug into a mixer, it is an audio interface that must be plugged into a computer.

Yes you can but it is little complicated, need to be wired not wireless and you need to a small speaker, both conections are in the back, mic is built in the camera.

This mic requires phantom power from a mixer board. Will not work without phantom power. There are some external phantom power boxes you can purchase that are not expensive.

I know there's a microphone jack on the camera. It's just an RCA plug. Has anyone used a separate mic with the camera? If so, where did you find the microphone? I've been looking on the web. I'm glad that some things are included in the box. From the description, it seemed that there was nothing in the box but the camera -- not even a battery!
