The editor said he was able to use my safety track 2 after boosting it a bit, but the primary track 1 was pretty much unusable without a tedious dialog editing effort.Ĭould the weird level fluctuations on channel 1 but not on the same mic on channel 2 via the Y-Connector be due to running phantom power out through channel 1 but not channel 2? Or is this probably something else? Is it a bad idea to do what I'm doing without using a phantom power blocking mic splitter? Am I risking damaging something? BTW, the HD-P2 and R44Pro both had to have phantom power to both boom input jacks or neither, while the HS-P82,allows me to select for each channel and thus I opted to just send it to channel 1 only. I kept getting level fluctuations on track 1 but not on track 2, and really couldn't figure out what the problem was. So far I've had no problem with doing that on an HD-P2, or later on an R44Pro, but I just started using an HS-P82 and have Phantom power on on channel 1 and off on channel 2 (where I'm patching my Y-Connector into the Tascam). I've always used a Y -Connector instead of a pre-mixer to split the feed from a boom condenser microphone to two input channels on my location recorder so I could record it both normal and cut a bit as a safety track in case an actor unexpectedly shouts a line (and I cannot ride the faders fast enough).
