    Hello Al,

    Thank you for the suggestion. I did have original input to the camera set to line, I think the issue must have been power related or something. I will follow up on this thread if it gives me an issue again. I was just wondering if it was just me (I was confident all the settings were correct) or if anyone else had a similar issues with using either the same mixer or camera.

    Cheers,
    Brandon

    I tried the setup again earlier and the interference I was getting appears to be gone. I’m not exactly sure how since I used the same exact setup as before (XLR main out from the board to camera line-level input) but the audio is clean both out of the mixer and also the camera. I also switched the camera from battery to ac power and that resulted in no difference in quality.

    I consider the issue resolved for reasons I’m not totally certain. Most likely it was just lack of my familiarity with this sound mixer.

    Thank you for the advice, Richard.

    Best,
    Brandon

    Hello, Richard, and thank you for your response.

    I apologize for not being clear, I unintentionally left out in the original post that everything sounds fine from the mixer’s phones. When the feed gets to the camera, however, is where what I called “noise” but more specifically is interference begins.

    I mentioned that the mixer seems more for music and PA work because the XLR main outs are for “powered or amplified speakers” which may be part of the problem.

    The camera is on battery power so I was thinking of plugging it into another outlet that the mixer is not drawing power from.
