chenners Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Has anyone had the issue of using the headphone volume control with the Sony ECM-719 mic only to have the recording volume appear lower? (Yea, I know. I'm getting a decent pair of mics...soon, soon.) I tried a tester recording today, one with HVC and one without. I was a bit dismayed and puzzled at the recordings with HVC. It didn't pick up the sound of lawn activity (mower and blower) as loudly as I would've liked. The recording w/o the HVC was fine. Explainations, anyone?

A440 Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 That's what it's supposed to do--lower the incoming signal--and it lowers it a bit even with the volume all the way up. The HVC works like a replacement for the missing Low Sensitivity option on models like the MZ-N707, where it acts like a buffer against the overload from loud bass notes. No need to use it if you're getting what you want without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
