question

When taking of the capsules, what is the best way to protect the contacts? Is there a product for this particular purpose? Thanks.
Asked by: Paul
I don't know of any aftermarket accessory that will protect the contacts. Nor do I know how many 'duty cycles' it is rated for. My guess is, that unless you're doing this daily, it should be of little concern. I keep the capsule in the original case, and put the recorder in a smaller case when I want to travel smaller/lighter. Otherwise, I suggest leaving the capsule attached.

Will recording a dual wireless mic receiver via XLR plus the capsule stereo mics in multi-track give me 4 separate audio tracks?
Asked by: Diane
When you are using the mic capsules and have channels 1&2 linked to accommodate a stereo input, you would receive 2 stereo audio tracks that have 4 separate channels (Left and Right channel on each track).

question

Does the H5 compressor/limiter send a live compressed signal to the line output? For example: when connected to a camera, does the H5 compress the line out to prevent a clipped in-camera recording?
Asked by: Andrew
If the compressor/limiter on the H5 is engaged, your output signal will be compressed. However, clipping in the camera is not determined by this alone. If one connects a line-level output into a mic-level input, distortion in the camera is inevitable. Also, if the input level is set too high on the camera, one runs the risk of clipping as well. If plugging into a mic input, using a cable with built-in attenuation is ideal; B&H # SEL2MZH4N6.

question

using a XLR splitter from channel 1& 2 to a mic, do i use power from both channels or just 1? Any risk of damaging your microphone? i am looking to use 1 channel as back up -16
Asked by: kay
Turn off phantom power, but splitting the input is not recommended. Signal loss and noise might result.
