Note: When using an external microphone, please insert it correctly into the microphone input jack. Only TRS interface microphones are supported.

10. Setting The Recording Level Correctly

Camera devices generally have poor-quality, noisy preamps. To get the cleanest signals possible, it is highly recommended that users set the recording level on their camera quite low, 1/2 or 1/3 of it. MOMAN C1 provides variable gain control, allowing users to tailor their levels to suit almost any environment and recording device.
