Setting microphone levels

…Remember, you can adjust the microphone levels inside the camera itself.…The challenge though, is that you don't have anything that represents VU meters.…In this case, I'm using an external mixer.…The microphone on Nora is running into the mixer and I can see actual VU meters.…Once you've plugged the microphone in, you might need to check…on the side of the mixer for a setting like phantom power.…You'll see here that I have some choices, and some…microphones need power sent to them in order to properly function.…

So, if you're getting really low audio levels,…make sure you check the documentation with your microphone.…And your mixer to adjust the volume.…You can also send phantom power out of devices like a Zoom H4N to power the mics.…All right.…I've attached a pair of headphones so, I can clearly hear what's happening.…And then, that's looping out into the camera itself.…Now, I've taken two loops out.…One is going out into the jack over here.…And we've plugged into the headphone jack.…And the other one is looped out and it's plugged into our adapter.…
