RODE NT1-A Microphone & SignVideo ENG44 Field Mixer into Panasonic HPX170

www.dvestore.com www.dvestore.com A question was asked on DVinfo.net, "Should I buy an audio mixer?" www.dvinfo.net Beyond the awesome control, limiters and meters that you get with a field mixer, the original poster wanted to know if you get more fidelity, a better, cleaner sound... Is there a difference between running a mic through a mixer or running in direct to camera? You can hear that there is a subtle difference on a good camera. The difference would become more apparent on a lower end camera. Bottom line is that if you have a good camera, with good pre-amps, you will hardly notice a difference. Now if you needed the control in changing environments and the peace of mind that on-board limiters give you against "Clipping" when audio gets too "hot" then get a mixer. It's also nice to be able to connect to the camera via an ENG or breakaway cable so you can have one cable to disconnect instead of a bunch. RODE NT1A on the Left is fed directly into HPX170 RODE NT1A on the right is fed into the SignVideo ENG44 field mixer then into HPX170 Line level. Both mics use the exact same Audio Technica Premium 30' XLR cabling.
