Audio on Canon XA10s

  • Group plus 1 individual:

    • shot gun = channel 1, Left ear

    • lavalier = channel 2, RIght ear

  • Group regular:

    • Use shotgun unless requested to do otherwise

    • Function > menu > scroll to bottom > XLR Record Channel > select CH1/CH2 to hear the audio in stereo

  • 1 individual: lavalier in stereo - channel 1

Etc:

  • Mic 48 + = phantom power - needed for shotgun

  • Lavalier does not need phantom power - use regular mic setting

  • Mic ATT = Attenuation - for louder events where the sound will otherwise clip

  • Aim for volume of -12 db - never hit zero

  • Ask the speaker to test check mics

  • If the sound in headphones is wacky, the camera is not broken lol

    • Menu > wrench icon > AV/headphones> select headphones
  • Audio that is too quiet is easy to boost but audio that is too loud is probably ruined
