Hey Eric

Thanks for that! I’ve been reading up and what you have said really helps! I think the Zoom H4N seems a good back up that isn’t overly expensive.

When you say one connestion for each Line Input – how many Line Inputs are there on the recorder? Basically, I’ll be mixing 3 channels on the SD302 to the left output so I just want to send over the mixed sound to the recorder. I’m not splitting left and right on the mixer.

I’d definitely order from you but am in London! However, I often do gigs in the States so when I’m out there I’ll definitely bear you in mind for Audio gear!

Hi!

Thanks for the advice!

Yes, I didn’t actually mean as a recorder but thank you for the heads-up! What cable do in need to get to lnk up from the tape output socket to a ZoomH4. Does the ZoomH4 record at a broadcastable quality?

Sorry if these are obvious questions!

Shakes!

Hi Eric

Thanks for the advice.

I’m new to this forum and replied to you earlier but not sure it was sent so I’m sending another reply.

I just have some supplementary questions. Firstly, if my levels on the camera are bouncing between -20 and -10 it hte way I have it set up still ok (camera input switched to mic level)? What are the advantages of setting the Mixer to mic, I read a lot of Audio advice who say use Line output where possible – I’m confused. What would the Mic output setting be on 302 is it -40db?

Also, the Sennheiser G3s I have been told the TX and RX accept Line input and output. However, this doesn’t seem to be the case as I am having to set my TX to -60 because it seems very hot otherwise. Is the XLR – min jack cable wrong?

I hope you don’t mind me asking, I just like to understand the logic!

Thank you!!

Thank you!

I\’ve got a few more Qs if that\’s ok?

Is the way i\’m doing ok anyway if the levels on the Canon peak around -10? What\’s the advantage of putting the mixer to mic level and the TX and RX to -20? Is mic level on mixer -40?

Also, Sennheiser say the TX input and RX outputs should accomodate Line and Mic. So shouldn\’t it cope with Line out from mixer? Bit confusing

Is that better than line out then setting sensitivity to -60? What confuses me is that the cable from mixer to tx is meant to be for line level.

If i kept it the way it is would it still be ok? What do I gain by setting the mixer output to mic level?

Thank you for the advice!
