[Aqualung]

Hi there –

This is EXACTLY the problem I’m having with my dvx100a. I’m using a Rode shotgun mic as well, but the situation is the same with my audio-technica shotgun and my sampson lavelier.

The audio levels are conspicuously low (yes, I’ve checked the switches, made sure phantom power was on, etc), and like you, I’m stuck in the middle of a fast moving production cycle.

Did you find a solution?

I don’t know if this is just my being idiosyncratic, but I think that I noticed a decline in the audio level as my last interview went into hour 2. I may be imagining it, so I’m not putting much stock in this theory. I am considering taking the cam to a technician (the problem is, the last time, they took almost a month getting it back to me and I don’t have that much time to be in a down cycle).

Let me know if you found a solution.

Thanks! And best of luck with your documentary!
