Hi,
I am an audio noobie. I'm also a documentary filmmaker who wants to capture outstanding sound for my short films. I bought a sound devices mixpre-d and a Countryman B3 wired xlr lavalier microphone. I also have Sennheiser HD280 headphones for monitoring. When I connect the lav mic into the mixpre and listen to the sound, I seem get low levels with the pot at 12 O clock. If i increase gain too much I hear noise. What am I doing wrong? I have phantom power on, gain at about 12 or 1 o clock, the lav mic is clipped to my shirt about 1 inch below my neck and the signal is low/a bit noisy. help??
Thank you!
