This weekend I meet up with the owner of BD Pictures to help test out some issues that he is having with his Red Ones, most of which are audio problems. I was aware of some issues with the audio on the Red One, but I had figured that with the newer versions of the firmware that those issues had been resolved. Turns out that they haven't and that the audio issues with the Red One are one of the major issues. I had meet up with Ajay in Alameda with his two Red Ones and we set them up and swapped mics, enabled and disabled audio channels, and tried out phantom power all to find out that the Reds that he has do not do audio. There would be times where the audio level meters would come alive, but they would not sustain a signal. I guess with the Red you should always record your audio to an external DAT recorder in addition to the in camera audio recording just to make sure that you've got your audio. Yet another needed accessory to the Red One!
Another thing that we are going to try out is checking if the line level input on the XLRs works and that there might be issue with the Mic input and the pre-amps of the XLRs. Any ideas?
