There is provision for an external speaker if desired. Two convenient video output jacks. There is a convenience AC outlet as well. This can power either a separate video camera or a video monitor. Audio in and out is by way of professional, balanced audio, XLR connectors.          The NV-204 is a two head, half helical machine with one audio channel and no time code or any other modern conveniences.
