Audio Questions


1.  Why should you use an external microphone?
You should use a professional-grade external microphone instead of the one built into the recording device for the following four reasons:
  • You can select the best type of microphone from a vast assortment of professional microphones to fit the recording setting, subject, and application.
  • You will have greater control over the placement of the microphone and its proximity to the subject, irrespective of where he sound or video recording device is located.
  • All things being equal, a professional external microphone will have better sound recording specs than the built-in microphone attached to your device.
  • Professional external microphones use a blanked XLR connector, which is better for reducing RF interference and other types of transmission noise.

2. What are the two ways to monitor your audio recording? 
  • measuring sound intensity and setting the record levels
  • listening to the audio signal as it is being recorded
