Dual System Audio

One thing that the video tells us about dual system recording is the difference between balanced and unbalanced cables. A balanced cable like an XLR, its signal will travel further than an unbalanced cable, such as a mini-jack. This allows for more distance between the recorder and the talent. Another thing to remember is the settings that the recorder is set to. If the trim on the recorder is set wrong, the audio may peak and become distorted. The last thing to remember is to set the right power settings for the microphone you're using. Some microphones need phantom power in order to work, so without the right power settings you'll get no audio. With all of these different aspects in mind, setting up a dual system recorder is super simple.
