Audio with GH2 - One Channel

[thescene]

I'm doing an interview series with my GH2 (with the 88 unified patch) and I'm using an external mic.

It is only showing that I'm getting sound only though the left channel.

Is their something wrong with my mic or can this be adjusted within the patch?

Thanks.

I would guess you are using a mono microphone - the GH2 has a stereo mini-jack input, so the mono plug on the mic cable is making contact with only one channel.

You need to either use a stereo mic, or a mono mic that has a stereo output jack (e.g. a Rode VideoMic) or a mono to stereo adapter.

Or just double-up the left channel to the right channel in post and don't worry about it. :)

Which Mic do you use?
