The 3.5mm input is definitely less sensitive than that of the old Pocket. I brought everything to same level (by ear not by normalisation) in Mixbus and listened. I tried my hyper cardioid Octava and my Ohrwurm lavaliers directly into the P4k and via a Mixpre6 into the P4k. I did some tests to see what works for my small one man setup.īottom line: XLR is fine, stereo line in is fine when feed with a good preamp, Mics in/on camera suffer from the fan noise (no surprise), 3.5mm Mic is low, usable with some Mics (and NR). One reason for the clean signal in that config might be the lavalier I used - it's the same manufacturer as the ohrwurmaudio-binaural mics, which provide a hot signal. No idea what it is Denny believes this report clears up.Īctually it makes me wonder now, but as stated above, the filmmaker kit's receiver was fed as a 3,5mm MIC mono input into the Pocket, but I will do a second attempt to make sure once I find the time tonight. stereo didn't make much difference in my tests, at mic levels.

Needless to say, line levels is a completely different test.

If your camera is anything like mine, 100% camera mic levels will be extremely noisy.
