I'm looking for a recommendation for a custom cable maker. It's for a set of lights I have where the cables were either not as long as I'd like and the quality was low. I need AC cables as well as the cables that connects the ballast to the fixture itself to be made up. The latter is tricky...

How much does the Mic Gain switch change the signal? Does it increase the noise floor? Should I use the gain or just increase trim setting? How does the Limiter work? Is there a metric threshold? Thanks

I often have the need to record audio of talent or a simple voice-over where I do not have the opportunity or budget to go to a recording studio. This often happens in a quiet room near the edit suite with a bunch of moving blankets (though have been considering the voxguard) hung around the mic...

I'm going line-out from a Tascam DR-680 to a Blackmagic Cinema Camera. For the purpose of getting this going, I've simply connected one mic into channel 1 which is panned center. The pan output on the 680 is set to maximum on both the channel as well as the mix. The trim is adjusted to stay...

I'm thinking about getting a new mixer to mix sound and get it to a BMCC. I've been using a H2n as well as a Tascam 680 with the DSLR's. They both have different good and bad points. I'm trying to move up and particularly hoping to find a portable audio solution for the BMCC. Everything I've...
