Agreed the best way around this is a simple headphone preamp which has been designed for the job, take the line out of the camera into device and your away.
My sound recordist has not had a problem taking the line out of the cam for his cam return input to the sound desk.
They def have skimped on the headphone amp but belive the problem lies at the input stage.
We use a sound devices 302 mixer and when setting up the camera (HD 101e) the pots are up very high to achieve good levels for the Avid. When we shoot on the digi beta and use the test tone out of the mixer at the same levels, the pots are hardly working at all.
I guess for a cam under 10k you need to cut costs some where ( the biggest being the standard lense ) Our pics really came alive when we bought the 13x fugi lense |
