Audio:
Rode NT5s (omni's, ORTF) into an M-Audio DMP3 - balanced line outs to a
Presonus Firebox balanced line input. This works fine, no problems.

Nitpicking: The NT5s are cardioid last I checked, as they'd certainly
better
be if they're going into an ORTF arrangement.

I have the NT45O Omni capsules on them. After doing some reading I will
switch them back to cardioid.


Video:
I was hoping to use an AT825 for this purpose and connect it to the
Firebox
mic preamps, take a recording in 24/96 of the signal, then send it out to
the video camera via the MIC input on the camera. When I connect it this
way I get fuzz and hiss + sound on the video recording. I assume this is
because the Firebox outputs are line level and the mic input on the
camera
is mic level. Is there any way I can do this? I have tried it the other
way around (AT825 -> Camera -> Camera Line Out -> Presonus) and it works
okay but the preamps in the camera are obviously very crappy (more so
than
the Fireboxes).

Buy or rent a couple of decent quality DI boxes and connect the outputs of
the Firebox to their inputs; connect their outputs to the camera's mic
inputs.

I'll give it a try. Thanks!



Peace,
Paul
