MICROPHONE LEVEL INPUTS
Choose an Input Level that aligns the input signal to the reference line drawn vertically through the cam-
era’s PPM, indicating 0dBu. This setting provides 18dB headroom above reference level before signal
clipping and the digital audio recording will be at maximum Signal to Noise ratio. Range is +36dB to
+54dB, with a default value of +36dB.
LINE LEVEL INPUTS
0dB: Line Level audio inputs are designed to operate at unity gain (0dB), therefore use 0dB and set a
0dbu (- 20dBFS) line level output from the production mixer or other external signal source.
+10dB: Select this value to normalize input levels when receiving a TAPE level line input (-10dB).
HEADPHONE
The sub menu provides controls for headphone output volume channel mixing.
