I'm connecting an audio mixer to my HPX500 and tried HVX200 (ch.3&4).
The mixer (sound devises) works fine.
When I try to send a testsignal (0db) to the camera, the signal comes very distorted (way to loud) into my camera, while having the volume wheel almost to the lowest level.
You would expect that when having 0db out to camera you should have the volume wheel halfway?
What am I doing wrong here.

You're probably sending the signal at line level rather than mic level. Is there a mic/line switch on your mixer? Mic inputs need a mic level signal, which is typically -24db to -30db of what line level is. What is the model # of your mixer?

Or, change the mic/line switch on the 500.
