The Z1 apparently has an audio limiter. So, is the limiter of beachtekDXA8 useful w/ a Z1?
Thank you

So, is the limiter of beachtekDXA8 useful w/ a Z1? Thank you Vincent Rozenberg February 6th, 2006, 01:26 PM The Z1 has XLR inputs, Phantom and a limiter. Don't see the need of a Beachtek here.. Mark Utley February 6th, 2006, 01:54 PM The Z1 has XLR inputs. You might be thinking of the FX1, which has a 1/8" input. Steve Mullen February 6th, 2006, 04:50 PM The Z1 has XLR inputs. You might be thinking of the FX1, which has a 1/8" input. And the FX1 also has a limiter. You can buy a cable -- not need of a "box" -- that terminates in a metal 1/8" stereo plug and has a pair of XLRs. (Be sure to attach the SHORT cable to the FX1 so as to put no strain on the tiny plug.) If you are running long lines to a mic -- be sure either the cables' XLRs have transformers or you use in-line transformers. These take a balanced mic signal and convert it to un-balanced which the camera accepts. Essentially you'll have created a box in the form of cables. Unless you have mics with very different sensitivities -- you do not need level controls. |
