Note:
If automatic gain control on the camera (when applicable) introduces unwanted audio artifacts, consider by-
passing the feature.
③
Perform a sound check
and adjust the gain switch
The dB gain switch adjusts the level of the audio signal sent to the camera's audio input. Be-
gin with the gain switch set to +20 dB. Monitor the camera's audio meter and adjust the
switch so that the loudest sounds do not exceed −6 dB.
+20 dB:
Appropriate level for many cameras when recording typical sound lev-
els (speech, for example) and for quiet sources.
0 dB:
Use when capturing sounds that are slightly louder than typical speech
levels.
−10 dB:
Use when the signal is too loud and distorts the camera's preamp, or in
loud environments, such as a concert or sporting event.
Note:
Camera input sensitivity varies between manufacturers. Use this information for general reference.
④
If necessary, increase
the camera's input gain
The audio signal should peak between −12 and −6 dB on the camera's audio meter. Follow
the camera manufacturer's instructions to fine tune the gain to reach the appropriate level.
