XL1S with Beachtek audio input question
 

This question is asked under the worst circumstances.

I have a Beachtek attached to my Xl1S and I cannot get any levels. I have it into the Audio 1, I have the Beachtek set on Mic. I have the Audio 1 level set on Mic.

In the camera menu it does not have the Audio 1 In as anything. I can't seem to change it so that it detects a Mic. Is this the problem? What mode do I ahve to be in to accept the Mic as input for Audio 1?

I've also tried Audio 2 and successfully set it on Mic but it doesn't get anything.

Sorry aboput the absolute newbie nature of the question but I ahve to go off to a shoot and I am actually going to call Dylan to see if someone has gotten a solution to the problem whilke I'm on teh shoot.

If not, not a huge deal as I have the default mic for the XL1s as a backup.

However, I also would like it working because I am getting Xlr house sound into the Beachtek.

Yes, someone shoot me for not making sure it works earlier than now.

Sorry I don't know anything about the XL-1, but I have a Beachtek on a VX-2000 and you need to set the camera's audio for a mic level input, not line level. Could that be your problem?

Problem solved. No need to reply further to this post.

Sounds as if the switch behind the door for Audio 1/MIC was not set to Audio 1.. What was the solution?
