    HVX200 Audio Meter

    Posted by Rosh Kadri on January 20, 2008 at 11:26 pm

    hi,

    so i know that the audio meter has settings from -20”’-12”’0

    iam sending tone from my 302 into the hvx, so should i calibrate
    the camera for -20 tone and record dialogue at around -12

    or line up tone to the -12 and record dialogue at 0.

    thanks

    Hi:

    You definitely do NOT want to record your dialogue at 0dB, if you do, you will definitely clip your audio signal.

    It really does not matter where you record your tone between -12dB or -20dB as long as your tapes or hard drive are so labeled. -12dB = analog 0dB is sort of a prosumer/FCP sort of spec and -20dB is how the professional world of audio does it.

    Who is editing? Is it being broadcast? Is it being sent out for replication/duplication?

    clipping would not happen if iam using an external mixer (SD 302) with a limiter?
