[with the mini-plug signal wires into the mic jack.]

You can also use mini-plug equipped mics directly into
the mini-plug jack on the TRV900 (use a dual-mono-to-stereo
adapter with two mono mics...).

with either the built-in mics, or with the external ones on
the TRV900...

There are many possible solutions...
