Just bought Sennheiser AVX System - A7s AGC question

[timmilgram]

Hey guys! I just purchased the Sennheiser AVX system for a shoot later this week, and I know I need to turn off AGC on my camera in order for it to function properly. Is there any AGC going on with the A7s, and if so, is it possible to disable it?

Hi,
from what i now the AGC on A7S is always on.
Best to set the audio input level to the smallest value(i have set it to 8 with a Zoom H5 with line output -20)
The noise floor is very low with this setting.

By definition if we can set the audio levels manually then doesn't this mean AGC is disabled?

Best way to test this is to film a silent room with a low running fan in the background and listen for the noise floor to rise.
