Let's say the piano mic is overpowering the acoustic guitar mic.pot down the piano. Oy vey! The pain!Īs Marco pointed out, a mixer will do nothing to control the recording levels on a camera with non-defeatable AGC. It seems the older I get the more screwed up my spelling gets and the more dyslexic ui become. Be sure to secure the 1/8 mini stereo to the camera handle with a length of velcro wrap. The chance of a snag and heartache (busted nic input or worse)are pretty good unless you carefully secure all cables. The beauty of the beach is it's attached firmly to the camera and has 10 db of attenuation through each of the channel gain controls and a further 50 db throught the line/mic switch.īe careful if you use the inexpensive cable adapters, what you have then is nothing secured to the camera and the posibility of a whole lot of cables dangling.
You do reach a point where it would be best to have just bought a beachtek or Studio one adapter. Depending on wehter or not you have an adjustable output you may have to make or by a pad to attenuate the sound. You can also buy an inline impedance matching transformer for under $50. You can get by with a XLR to 1/8 mini stereo or dual XLR to 1/8 stereo cable ($10 and $20 for the dual) until you can afford the beach or equivilent. It would depend on how portable and how long an unbalanced run you'll need. A few feet of unbalanced cable isn't a bad thing.
I'd go for the mixer knowing what i do now.
