    Is this static crackling from batteries?

    I use a Sennheiser EW100 G2 and I use rechargeable batteries in transmitter and receiver. I've recently heard rechargeable is not recommended. Do you think it sounds like noise might be from the batteries? https://app.box.com/shared/static/d3htcofmh95lfgj8cvohej1y9nv414sd.mp3 Now and then, I...

    AF100 or AC90 for instructional videos?

    I had posted this question in a DLSR thread, but I should have asked in this forum. So here goes. I do instructional videos by myself. I always use manual focus, but I need good audio, and using an external monitor for viewing is also necessary. I am wondering what is a better buy for me -...

    AC90: Audio quality question

    How is the audio quality on the AC90 compared to the HVX200? I am considering the AC90 but I need top quality audio, and the HVX200 has been very good in that respect.

    Help - need HDSLR with 2 Line Inputs

    Looking for some tips for buying an HDSLR. My situation - I do instructional videos, and I need a camera with 2 audio inputs. I use a Sennheiser G2, and I also record another audio source onto the camera (also line level). I don't ever move the gear - my studio is set up with the cameras on...

    HVX200 beeping

    My HVX200 has a beeping sound when recording. Once or twice per second or so. It's not steady like a sync signal. Sort of like a stopwatch beeping at random intervals. I also noticed I can hear when the camera is auto-focusing. When zooming manually, I also get some extra noise. I used an...

    HVX200A Remote Control

    I'm wondering why my remote control does not provide a consistent, smooth zoom. I have changed the batteries in the remote, but sometimes when zooming, it stops for half a second before continuing the zoom movement. Sometimes, it even stops working completely and after I power the camera on/off...

    Recommend a lav mic for Sennheiser G2 100 EW

    I am a bit lost at what to buy. I have the G2 EW 100 and the lav mic that came with the kit. I hate the mic - thin sound and it picks up all sort of noise way too easily. So can you recommend a good lav mic that will fit this Sennheiser wireless system? I have a Shure mic already but it uses...

    Problem with the Sennheiser wireless g2 100 series mic

    I've been using the EW 100-ENG G2 system from Sennheiser. The transmitter/receiver work great, but the mic is driving me slightly mad. It sounds okay, but it picks up so much noise from clothing. It's annoying. If I put it carefully onto cotton clothing, I can still clearly hear in the...

    What are you standard audio "tweaks" for voice?

    Just wondering what effects, plugins or other "tweaks" you guys often use when polishing audio in post production? Specifically in regards to voice audio. I used the compressor/limiter in FCP on a few projects, and I checked the checkbox for "preserve volume". Listening back, I'm not quite...

    HVX200 settings for instructional videos on DVD and downloads

    Hi, I am new to this camera, and I'm looking for suggestions for camera settings for my project. I record instructional videos (guitar), with lots of up close footage. I use a black backdrop and I use 2 softboxes for lighting. I record it all in my studio, so the camera never needs to be moved...
