Settings At Camera w/ Field Mixer?

[Rogue Crew]

I'm looking to get a little field mixer like the BeachTek DXA-4S for use with my XL2 and boomed shotgun. God knows that there's enough to do at the camera end without having to fiddle with the sound controls as well.

When using such a setup (mic>mixer>camera), where do you set the volume controls at the camera? Seems like you should set them at Max, then dial it down at the mixer, but my "logic" has been faulty in the past, so I thought I'd ask.

Easiest way is to send tone at -12 and then set the camera to match.

Good luck

easiest way is to buy sd 302 mixer and send o db tone when you step down 14 db( true internal setup )to rca inputs , that would sounds the best , all the others is just not
