: Is the hiss in the new PD150s? I heard that Sony had the problem fixed in the newest batch, or the next production run. Anybody have any info on this, other than speculation?
: I had one in the other day, and we checked different mics, mixers, mics with mixers and mics without, and the hiss was there and recorded to tape.
Were you monitoring with headphones through the noisy
headphone/speaker amp, or line out? Were levels set for
good recording level, or boosted to hear the noise
character? I find that with normal levels set, noise
is low, but it is easy to set in/out gains high and
hear hiss and "popcorn" noise, especially with headphones,
but these are absent on my camcorders on recordings played
back on good audio systems...
