Did a real quick and dirty test of the Rode VMP with a 11 dB attenuator cable. Basically, the +20 dB setting on the VMP pro was too hot so I thought (and I'm sure I'm not the first) to attenuate the +20 dB with a -11dB attentuator cable, rather than just go with 0 dB on the mic.
This is just a quick and dirty test. I don't have a treated room or anything. This is just my living room with slightly odd sound conditions. Anyway, I was mostly interested in the noise floor. The first clip is the VMP with 0db and the levels untouched in FCP (GH2 at audio level 1). The second clip is +20db, -11db (attenuator) then -9db in FCP to get the audio levels on par with the first clip. The GH2 is at audio level 1.
Sorry not a real pro at audio stuff but hopefully this is somewhat useful.
The high pitched chirping in the background is made by tree frogs.
