  Mic Gain settings

  Posted by Ruby Gold on June 20, 2006 at 6:00 pm

  I just bought a DVX100B and am reading the manual and choosing settings. I am using an external lav for for my next few shoots and am confused by the choice of -50dB or -60dB as the mic gain setting. I’m used to my old GL2 where I basically set audio levels to hover around -12dB as a person is talking. Can someone explain what these mic gain settings are for and what’s the best setting to choose?
  thanks-
  Ruby

  I’ll bet that if you jump over to the Audio Professionals forum, you’ll be able to get a very detailed answer with a rundown on +4, -10, -60 and the other numbers that are a mystery to many people.
