The shotgun mic either runs on phantom power, or it is powered by one or more batteries. The lav mic might have an odd impedance or wireless frequency that does not match the camcorder's inputs (though I doubt that's it). Also, the camcorder's battery could be low and not give enough phantom power.</p> <p>Just wondering, does the buzz from both mic systems sound the same, or is the output different for each microphone?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/buzzing-in-the-audio#post-48638 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 05:13:15 +0000 robGRAUERT 48638@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>well, it's hard for me to diagnose since I don't really know exactly what you were doing, but this is how you should be set up:</p> <p>First, You should definitely have the mic inputs set to "Mic" and not "Line" or "ATT." "Line" is only to be used when connecting your camera to a mixer and "ATT" is only to be used when you around very loud sound, such as a concert.</p> <p>Second, do not have the phantom power on if you have batteries in your mics or if your mics don't use phantom power. Doing so will damage the camcorder, or at least that's what I've read. </p> <p>If this is what you do, it might be your mics, so test a new mic. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/buzzing-in-the-audio#post-48635 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 23:55:04 +0000 Joe Pollon 48635@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> &lt;span class="post"&gt;<br /> I am shooting video with a Sony DSR PD-170. It's a good camera with XLR inputs. Using<br /> either the original equipment shotgum mic or a AT899 lavalier mic, I am getting a buzz<br /> that seems to get louder with the volume of the sound signal being recorded. It<br /> diminishes in the quiet times. I have tried running filters for hum and noise removal,<br /> but that isn't doing it. I have had the camera checked and they say it is functioning<br /> correctly.</p> <p>Any suggestions as to the cause. I have recorded with Automatic<br /> Gain Control off and keeping the max level below 0dB. Is it possible that I have damaged<br /> the mics in my novice tampering with phantom power, mic level and mic att settings?&lt;/span&gt;</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/when-i-plug-a-mic-into-my-canon-hg10-it-just-buzzes-in-playback#post-47740 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 10:07:29 +0000 FILMSinc 47740@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I think i just figured out, for some reason the 2 mics i just tested didnt work with my camera. It works now</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/when-i-plug-a-mic-into-my-canon-hg10-it-just-buzzes-in-playback#post-46698 Tue, 12 May 2009 06:17:29 +0000 OSD 46698@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I haven't done this yet, but I know there is a setting that you have to change so that the camera knows you've plugged in an external microphone.  Also, check out this tutorial from Berkley University.</p> <p><a href="http://multimedia.journalism.berkeley.edu/tutorials/video/canon-vixa-hf-10/" rel="nofollow">http://multimedia.journalism.berkeley.edu/tutorials/video/canon-vixa-hf-10/</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/when-i-plug-a-mic-into-my-canon-hg10-it-just-buzzes-in-playback#post-45751 Sun, 12 Apr 2009 13:24:15 +0000 FILMSinc 45751@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>  I reacently purchased the canon hg10</p> <p>i am VERY happy with it.</p> <p>But i came acrost a problem when tring to plug a cheap mic into the mic terminal. </p> <p>i tried it again with anothor cheap mic and it was the same.</p> <p>All it made when i played it back was a loud BUZZZZZ</p> <p>i have a new shotgun mic coming in the mail and hope that will make a difference</p> <p>if anyone with any experience with canon cameras has any idea on what i could try, that will be greatly appreciated</p> <p>thank you</p> <p>-Films inc Media</p>
