Blackmagic Cinema Camera Audio Quality: Using External Preamps to Get Better Sound

11.13.12 @ 10:02PM Tags : blackmagic, bmcc, cinemacamera, juicedlink, preamp, sound

The folks at juicedLink have already presented us with strong evidence that using the company’s Riggy Micro/Assist low-noise pre-amplifier configuration with DSLR shooting has major advantages.

Now, juicedLink’s Robert Rozak performs another exhaustive test, this time to illustrate the benefits of using the Riggy Micro/Assist setup with Blackmagic’s Cinema Camera — plus major audio issues that must be addressed with that camera system. Check out the video below to see the results. More »

We have yet to see a DSLR (even at the high end) that provides direct XLR inputs, but we do now have some basic control over gain levels along with headphone monitoring.  While providing a comparison of the the 5DmkIII and D800‘s audio features, juicedLink’s Robert Rozak presents his latest pre-amp device, the RM333, and how it builds off of these new features: More »
