Ok.. I am convinced about the Sen’s… So what were the cons with the AT brand? Did yours lose signal or anything like that?

Hi Ty.
The XA10 does NOT have good headphone monitoring capabilities. Maybe it does inside a studio, but outside with ambient noises, wind, etc.. Nope. The mic mon is not good at all. I didnt know this till after purchase. As a matter of fact. The XA10 was NOT that great of a camera. But that’s another forum. 😉

Thanks Eric and Al. Your responses have helped me quite a bit.
I purchased the XA10 to travel with me, because I would avoid paying $900 per day shooting fees for certain archaeological sites.(Many countries now charge fees for professional cams.. and the XA10 kinda slides pass them without a problem)Since the XA10 was so new at the time, no one knew how it performed. SO, I did all the research I could. But everyone were still newbs.
During our test runs my AG/PA kept telling me that it was virtually impossible to monitor sound via the XA10. We could barely hear anything. So then we tried the Azden port.. 100% useless! ( We had to role with what we got. We had no time to swap gear)
As we were shooting, we did playback after each shot…We notice the sound kept cutting out. It was hard to notice it during monitoring. Mon Vol was maxed. and still couldnt hear every well.
Yes, no excuse for monitoring. Done deal. Understood. NO-GO. I get it. But I think Eric and Al answered my questions about a better system to use. If there any blogs from others who use the AT, I would like to hear more cons. I am leaning towards buying 2 Sen’s. But that AT Dual Chan is very attractive to me. What is a man to do.. :0

Rich… Take it easy on me bro. Azden does not provide a good system for monitoring audio. You can barely hear anything, and there is no volume control. We shot a month in the jungle. and then we shot some stuff at a small conference. Frequency interruption or poor use was not the issue. The issue was 100% crappy AZDEN.
I am looking a the Sen, and the Audio Tech… I like the dual channel, but I fear that I will be eating the same worm again.

The Audio Tech mics, what issues have you had with them? Be honest.
Frequency interference? Sound cutting out? Can they be placed under clothing and still function? Tell me the real deal. What are the CONS? -
Thanks !!!

Any suggestions for the settings? There are so many new gidgets with SVP11, Its hard to figure out. So, if you already crossed that bridge, feel free to share the love, bro. 🙂

What layers and setting did you use? Educate me oh wise one. 🙂

This was a sunny day. On the screen it lacks that “made for TV movie look” It looks like a camcorder recorded this shot. I am still tinkering with the xa10 setting to find out which is best, but It seems that no matter which setting it is on, i still need to use the right SVP11 post prod filters
