Hi,
I am making training videos using a Canon camcorder with a 1/8" mic input. In my office I use a Sennheiser HMD 25 headset (with XLR connection) along with a Mackie 802-VLZ mixer to feed the camera.
I now need to do some video recording out of the office. I need a portable preamp solution so I can continue to use my Sennheiser headset. I am sitting here looking at my Marantz PMD-661 recorder and thinking there might be a way to use it.
So the question is... Are the RCA line out connectors live when recording? This would allow me to send audio over to the camera. Or is there another way to skin this cat? I would test this myself, but I don't have any RCA to 1/8" adapters laying around. Would like to know if this would work before heading into town to buy some.
Thanks in advance for any ideas on this!
