H6 Backup Recording Question
Is there a difference when using the L/R channels as opposed to the numbered channels? The manual says these are stereo. Is there a way to force them to record mono? I'd really like to use the backup recording feature (where it creates a second audio file at -12db). I'm using this mainly for weddings.
Would it be safe to use either the L/R for wireless mics or a connection to the soundboard? Will the audio come out okay or will I have to level the left and right channels in post? Thanks! |

Re: H6 Backup Recording Question
Channels 1 - 4 are all enabled as individual (mono) channels by default, however it is possible to pair them as stereo channels (see manual p.26)

I have also used a TRS +4 dB line output from a mixer on the L input (20 dB pad required) while having a radio mic receiver on the R input, giving me a backup for both. But as I said, you will need the optional XLR/TRS module for that - you can't separate the L & R channels when using the 3.5mm jack input on the X/Y mic module. Just remember, no phantom power is available with the plug-in XLR/TRS module but that's not a problem with how you want to use the H6. Last edited by Colin McDonald; March 10th, 2014 at 04:15 PM.

Re: H6 Backup Recording Question
Glad you found that helpful.
You might like to have a look at http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/all-thin...xlr-input.html as well if you haven't already. Just as useful for connecting to an audio recorder like the H6. |
