    They may be center panned. Pan each channel and listen again. XDCAM treats channels as dual mono.

    Thanks for responding, Craig.

    Unfortunately, I can’t seem to locate the controls to pan the separate channels. I can’t find them either in XDCAM Transfer, or QuickTime Player. Can you help me find them?

    Thanks,
    Phil

    In Final Cut Pro you need to do this in the Viewer.
    In Quicktime you need to do this in Windows/Show Movie Properties/Audio Settings
    XDAM is Dual Mono tracks. It does NOT record in Stereo so you must PAN for Stereo. Files always are Dual Mono Center Paned.

    Yeah, in FCP you can highlight your clip in the timeline and hit option-L to tell it you’ve got a Stereo Pair (also in the Modify menu on the top bar).
