When an actor in saying a line should the audio just hit the -20db mark or should the sound range between the -20db and -12db. Thanks

Paul,
I have only had my HVX for a couple weeks, but the audio i have done with it is clean but weak when I go off the meters. the -12db is more like -18 or -20. I learned my lesson and go by my ears with this cam rather than relying soley on the meters. Get a good pair of headphones.
