here it is zoomed into at 1 sec intervals on the timeline in audacity
when listening to it, it simply sounds like a total lose of volume, no noise of any kind
when I said 2 outs, yes 2 different outs
one was the RCA > M10 and one was 1/8 > camcorder
i am going to try and set up a him,e test again and see if i can get the signal to drop out by playing with the din3 power cable some more
thats the only thing i can think of, is that there is a small short in the cable that if is jusssssst right will drop the power.
I think this because I have only had the 2 issues out of dozens of recordings and both come back on within seconds of me noticing and opening up my bag to see whats happening
So - did the camcorder source lose audio also?
yes they both lost the signal at the same time
I have determined its to the mics, cables, recorders because they all cut out at the same time so that leaves an issue withe the preamp or power
I just can't replicate it so thats what makes me think its a "short" in the power chain that the cable has to be just right for it to cut out
I am going to run some more home tests and see if I can figure it out
