The audio properties should be listed in the “settings” when you exported it. It’s not changed by burning to a DVD.

The EV RE50B is the industry standard for ENG. Bullet proof, weather proof and sounds great.

I second that. Sometimes there’s no way around hiring a professional, or teaching a volunteer who wants to be one. This is a classic case. Is it the curse of auto-focus, auto-iris, point and shoot modern mentality that everything will be great if I buy the right gear or software? There’s a reason why a lot of audio sounds amateurish – it’s because it’s recorded by amateurs! And the solution doesn’t exist on the internet.

It’s not a snob thing, it’s knowledge and experience. If there was something out there that did what you wanted, Mike, there would be no bad sound and no sound guys, for that matter. The money you want to spend in post will be twice what you pay for a sound person and the quality half as good.

I agree with the frequency issue. It may also be a signal to noise issue. Make sure your receiver is getting a really strong signal. Secondly, if you have the ability to plug in the lav to a power supply and hardwire to your recording device, you can eliminate if it’s an issue with the mic or an issue with the radio transmission.

Ryan:

Why is this an issue if it’s only a problem for one person? Perhaps you should check out his computer, and ask other friends to listen.

Well, is this an issue for Sennheiser? Thoughts, remedies, anyone?

I’m recording to video cameras of all stripes. It’s the input levels that are frustrating me – everything is working fine but I’m just two clicks away on the fader from maximum output. I feel like I don’t have a lot of control.

This isn’t an issue with the 442 because there’s a master gain pot.
