Since I’m not getting a specific VX2100 answer over in the audio group I’ll pose this question here.
I haven’t ordered the 2100 yet and have opted to also purchase the senn g2 wireless setup and also the RODE videomic. I am trying to find out from any VX users “exactly” how to hook these two mics up to the camcorder without the BeachTek (which I will add later if I need to). I’d like to mic up the groom and also get some ambient sounds with the camera mounted videomic.
But again, how do I get "two" mic channels into the VX2100? I can picture this using the BeachTek.
Do I…
- get a stereo to mono splitter
- plug splitter into mic jack on VX2100
- Plug wireless receiver into 1st channel of splitter
- Plug Rode Videomic into 2nd channel of splitter
Or is it as simple as…
- Plug wireless receiver into audio input jack
- Plug Rode Videomic into mic input jack
I realize I won't have any gain control as I would with the BeachTek but will the setup I've just described get me 2 channels of simultaneous audio?
Thanks!
