Re: [videoblogging] question about Rode and DVX100B

I'm not familiar with The Rode VideoMic. Sounds like it has an 1/8 mini plug? and you have a 1/8 mini to XLR adapter that you are using to plug the mic into the DVX100b?? It may be a line-level vs. mike level thing. Have you tried toggling the switches on the DVX from mic to line / trying

Yea, and I am getting no sound at all, tried the Mic setting, the line in setting, every setting that I can think of, I know it should work, but for the life of me I can't figure out why it's not, I changed batteries, etc...I know it's not an ideal situation but I was hoping to put off for

I think the Rode is high impedance, so you need more than an adapter you need an actual impedance matching transformer to get good sound, but something else is amiss if you are getting NO sound. Have you tried both mic inputs? The switches are definitely set correctly? Levels are up? Brook On

The recording levels, if I remember correctly the two level dials are below the mic routing switches. A common no sound error is to have the mic plugged into, say, mic input one while the switches have input two routed to both channels. Or vice versa. It's usually a switches thing. Brook On

I'm pretty sure you should be able to use the Rode with the DVX using the adapter - there are people talking about doing this OK in forums, if you google. Assuming that it *should* work, the only thing that will get you there is systematic trial and error testing of each device. First thing,

Don't forget that the Rode is a stereo mic, so the adapter has to be wired to take this into account. Some mono 1/8 to XLR adapters won't work. Also, there will be an impedance mismatch unless you use an adapter with an impedance matching transformer. On Thu, 24 Apr 2008 12:12 pm, Rupert
