Hi, first post on this forum, hope some of you could help me.
I have a Tascam DR-05 and it seems to have a issue with levels. I got a Audiotechnica shotgun microphone some time ago and the output has very little signal, even though all the levels are 100% on DR-05 configurations and the "mic power" option is also on.
So, I thought it was some problem with the shotgun itself and I got a lav from Rode. Same issue, it works but the output volume is very low. This makes me think that the error is on DR-05 instead of on the microphones.
What should I do? I can send a sample recording or any other informations if you want. Basically I have to up +30db on post-production everytime I record and this makes the noise levels go very high too.
Maybe it's something with the conector? On the shotgun I have a simple XLR to P2 connector. On the Rode lav, he's already P2. Do I need some adapter or something?
The internal (embedded) microphone on DR-05 works, although it has a terrible quality.
Thanks in advance.
