Notes on Getting the Best Audio Performance

The most common problem in recording professional audio on today’s

DSLR cameras is the hiss generated by the camera preamplifiers. You

will never completely eliminate all hiss, which is normal, but you can

reduce it so that it is no longer a problem.

The most important thing to remember when recording audio is to set the

audio levels correctly as explained in this manual.

Setting the levels too low will give you a poor signal to noise ratio and

lead to poor results. Also, setting the levels too high will cause clipping

and distortion. Having the proper levels will ensure that good clean audio

signals are being sent to the camera for the highest quality audio.

You should use a quality professional microphone, and proper mic

placement and techniques for optimum results.
