Audio Setup for Sony HDR-FX1

Walla , here is the first beard with that camera on that use group!!
Now for your question , you have to use beachteck or similar adapter door
your mike witch require some kind of power , I hope you have 48ph since
beachteck do have 48ph vertion adaptor , dxc-6 -one input with phantom or
dxc -8 wiyth both inputs .
.If your mike is t powered mike, you would need additional phantom to
tanador (t) power adaptor .
You hook the wireless to on channel( you don't need phantom for the
receiver) and the mike to other ,then feed the camera threw the pl mini
plug in mike level
Now tell mw -you are going to spend about 500$ on that and add half kilo to
your camera , you will spend bunch of $ for the beachteck batteries and
pollute the earth by not recycle them and throwing away in the garbech ,
eventually you will forget to change thedolmost dead ones before important
job - you will end without dissent sound and ruin your work and your name .
Is it worth the lousy 1200$ more that the promodel would cost you , what
arush?
Use soundman -you already did the first sound mistake

On the consumer model I saw there is only one volume control for both
channels. It would be difficult to use different types of mics in channel 1
and 2. Sony's explaination for this is that "it is only a consumer
camera".
