Bruce,
Interesting. I use the tone from any of my Sound Devices 442 and MixPre-D mixers or 664 recorder to -20 on cameras or external recorders.
I normally run peak levels to -10 to -12 on the mixers and output of the 664.
I set the limiter threshold on the Sound Devices devices to -12. This gives me bump and shriek room which will also be caught by the Sound Devices limiters. I’ve found this works very well.
Regards,
Ty Ford

Hello Duncan and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.
It’s usually a good idea to read the previous responses.

Hello Craig and welcome back to the Cow Audio Forum.
Yes, Richard’s response is right on. (Thanks Richard)
Some of the older digital cameras like the PD150, had XLR connectors, but had semi-pro fron’t ends operating at -10 consumer level rrather than at 0, +4 or +8. Once I figured that out, trying to feed clients’ camcorders got a lot easier.
The Sound Devices 442 has mic, -10 and 0 (or +4)line level switches at the output XLRs. You have to recalibrate if you switch, but doing so gets rid of the “soft front end” problems referred to by people running into distortion problems.
FWIW, I usually set my Sound Devices limiter for -10 and regularly hit peaks at -12. Occasionally, a peak will pop up to -10 or higher and “tickle” the limiter light.

Hello Ron and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.
Are the batteries rechargeable?
Some rechargeable, after a bit of use, just don’t have the voltage to fire up some devices.

Hello Mandy and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.
What Richard says is true, but I think in this case your best investment would be a qualified sound person.

How about the Audio Technica MT830c?
I ran it with the U100 series here. I had eric Toline make me a small adapter cable for my Sennheiser G2/G3 wireless.
TA5F to 1/8″
No problem.
You can find him at……audioetc@bellsouth.net

Hello Hemant,
No, I am not. Those mics I mentioned are all good lavs, but there’s no mention in the Olympus 11 config about bias voltage or phantom power requirements.

Aloha Tom,
A lot depends on the audio output drivers in your computer. PCs are notoriously bad. Apples are better.
I only run Apples here and have been using Ebtech HE-2 boxes very effectively.
I would be very surprised if they didn’t work for you.
A short unbalanced Y-cord with 1/4″ TS plugs from your computer to the box, 1/4″ TRS to whatever balanced input your monitors have.

Hello Anthony and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.
Very retro-Beatle-esque.
Voices, piano and flute, with some percussion.
I don’t hear electric guitar, but a MIDI guitar playing notes through a sound module might be able to approximate most of these sounds.
