#Audio into Camcorder?
I recently purchased a Sony TR-400, Hi8 camcorder,and I'm having trouble
getting an external mike into it. The built in mike is fine for nat sound
recording, but I'd like to use an external lav to mike for interviews (I want
to shoot news-style documentaries). All of the mikes I have are XLR outs, so
I'm adapting them to 1/8" mini pin to get them into the camera. My problem is
that with some mikes, I'm getting some static, whenever the mike is moved (with
different cords, and different mikes). With other mikes/cords, I'm picking up
local radio stations (so I assume those cords aren't shielded enough). All I
want is to get clean audio into my camera, so I can transfer to betam SP to
edit. If anyone has any hints, or has experience of this type with their own
camcorder, I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks,
