I'm not sure what you mean. Could this damage the mic?
Camcorders (and other small consumer recorders like
MD, et.al.) put ~5VDC on the mic input to provide power to
typical small electret condenser mic capsules. This may
not be detrimental to *some* microphones, but I wouldn't
risk it. I would use a DC blocking capacitor when connecting
a pro microphone to a "Plug-in power" mic input.
You can think of "plug-in power" as the low-end consumer
equivalent of phantom power except much lower voltage
and single-ended/unbalanced.
