Hello,
I've recently notice that when i have two radio mics (operating on separate freq channels) input into my DVX100B (1 in Chan 1 and the other in Chan 2) the recorded audio suggests that the two channels aren't totally independant from each other! When the signal from one of the mics goes up suddenly (eg Chan 1 - groom, who's mic'd up, coughing during a wedding service) the audio on the other channel (eg Chan 2 - the vicar's mic) drops down a bit for that moment. This was really noticeable when i had the groom mic'd up going to Chan 1, and a mic picking up the ambient sound feeding into Chan 2, and during the editing of the hymns I just wanted to use the ambient channel for the sound (for obvious reasons!) but the levels were all over the place because of the obvious peaks that were coming through the groom's mic when singing. I don't think i've ever noticed this via the levels meter on the LCD during recording though.
Is this a bandwidth issue? Neither of the channels, in any of my experiences, have been anywhere near clipping. This has also happened when one of the mics has been radio and the other a shotgun mic.
I would really appreciate some info on what's causing this.
Cheers
Chris.
