Method for reducing noise and recording good sound also on the camera
More DetailsWhen sound output from a recorder is input to a camera, sometimes a hissing noise like "ssssss..." is noticeable. By paying attention to the following points, the volume of the desired recording subject can be raised compared to the noise and good sound can be recorded.
- Reduce the input level and gain settings on the camera as much as possible to prevent its input from clipping.
- Output the loudest sound possible from the recorder.
When setting the level, while observing the camera level meter, raise the output of the recorder keeping it just below the level that would cause the audio source being recorded to clip. Do not use the auto gain control function of the camera because doing so could increase the volume of noise.

ZOOM INTRODUCES 32-BIT FLOAT AUDIO INTERFACES
More DetailsAn industry first, Zoom has developed new models of USB audio interfaces featuring 32-bit Float recording technology, giving musicians the ability to record pristine audio to their computers and smart devices.
The new Zoom UAC-232 (USB Audio Converter) is now available and feedback from users has been overwhelmingly positive. As a result, Zoom is moving forward with plans to release an 8-channel interface, giving creators even more inputs and features than originally anticipated*. The Zoom UAC-832 will provide 8 inputs in a rack-mountable unit with added functionality to fit home recording studios as well as live set-ups.
The technology built into the UAC series allows the user to capture the highest audio quality possible, with an ultra-wide dynamic range and an incredibly low noise floor. 32-bit Float recording, along with sample rates up to 192 kHz, processes audio at an increased bit-depth and at full bandwidth. All of this is done without the need to set gain.
Standout features:
32-bit Float recording gives musicians peace-of-mind, ensuring that their audio will never clip. No matter how loud or soft the signal, the audio capture is crisp and clean.
Additionally, Zoom's new interfaces feature a robust chassis, XLR/TRS combo jacks, main and headphone outputs, Direct Monitoring and Midi In/Out.
*Previously announced as 4-channel model (UAC-432)
