Headphone Audio Question
Hi folks, I noticed the headphone audio from the EX1 is quite low at the average volume. Is that normal? The mic was the onboard mic. When I hooked up an ME66, it was a little louder but I had to crank up the volume on the "monitor vol" to hear it clearly. I removed the headphone and the onboard speaker is even softer! My FX1 has a louder pair of speakers for sure. Is it normal?

have you checked to make sure the two "Audio Level" dials at the back near the Sxs card slots are turned up?

Of course, getting the right level of audio (proper trim level and appropriate gain) is the basic thing to check; but assuming Sean is not making any trivial error here, it has to be stated that - starting with the V1, I think - Sony has chosen to drastically lower the monitoring output level (both the speaker and headphones).
Having good headphones is therefore even more necessary than ever before; I've just bought myself the Sennheiser HD 25-1 mk II - what a difference! Highly recommended...

The headphone level is low because the microphone level is too low. I turned up the audio input trim to remedy the problem.

Could you compare the sensitivity of your Sennheiser with the Sony 7506 or similar headphones? |

I'm using 7509HD's with my EX1 and they have good solid levels. When the camera gets back from Sony Service, I'll try to see what level I've been running them at.

Hi folks. I set the ME66 with the roll over on Auto mode and it worked fine at a dinner tonight. Only the headphone audio level wasnt very high at the average level. I bumped it up to 3/4 and it was good with my Senn PXC250. They worked much better on the FX1 but it is obvious the matching isnt that good on the EX1. BTW, I noticed a setting that says -41dB for the mic input. Is that normal? Sorry if these r basic stuff but its my first encounter with XLR mics. I had an easy time with the Rode Stereo mics in the past so its time to learn. Thks all!
