Thanks again for another response. I’ve tried having the trim on -41dbu and 23dbu and neither seem to have helped. I’m sure I’m being a total idoit but do you have any recommendations on what the trim should be at?

Thanks for the response Craig.

The gun mic doesn’t have any output settings on it so I don’t think it could be that and our radio mics are pretty basic, the settings all look very normal so we don’t think it is any of the output settings on any of the external mics. The sound is slightly better on auto rather than manual but still far too quiet, even at 10 on the external dials barely peaking.

I think it must be a problem with the camera or the settings but not sure where the issue lies. When using the internal mic the sound is fine and levels normal on both auto and manual settings. It also doesn’t give us the option to change the internal mic trim on the camera settings.

I’ve seen quite a few posts around about problems with the ex1 limiter, it’s just strange that the problem has only just started on the camera now (while we’re shooting!)

any help much appreciated, thanks

I realise this is a very old post but I am out in Africa with an EX1 that I have had since Xmas (and up until then has been working fine) and am now having the same problem with my sound. Using external mics (1 radio and 1 gun mic) the audio won’t peak. I believe we have a everything on the correct settings. Both Ch1 and Ch2 are set to external. The gun mic to mic+48v and the radio mic to line.

You can just about hear it through the head phones but it never peaks and the rushes are too quiet. As I say I have shot before using the same set up and not had any problems. I am unsure if this is a camera fault or a setting somewhere that I have missed.

Any help would be much appreciated.

thanks

HI Frank

Just wanted to know how you are getting on with the MXM adaptor, card reader and ATP Pro card? I have just got a Sony EX1, am struggling to with the cost of SxS cards and am thinking of buying exactly the same bits.

Do you have to use 2 MXM express cards or can you shoot with an MXM card in one slot and SXS in another?
I read somewhere that to shoot in slow mo you need to shoot on the SXS card and then somehow transfer it over to an SDHC card…have you come across this?

Thanks

Emma
