what's up everybody its Meech you tuned into on the radar will become a health
fitness and tech currently on the radar is the Comica CVM AX3 I always get the
numbers and the letters I think that's right it's an audio mixer that can be
used for DSLR or mirrorless cameras I'm gonna try to explain as simple as
possible what this thing does basically it allows you to connect multiple
microphones to your camera when recording it's great for me for instance
I shoot a lot of interviews and I always like to either record backup audio files
whether it be for editing for reference or just in case something happens to my
main audio you always need backup audio especially when you don't have somebody
that's monitoring the audio for you I'm always shooting like now it's just me
and the camera I can see the levels but I don't you know I can't monitor
everything so this is good to be able to you know use a backup audio if you don't
have a separate camera running so anyway it's also good you know if you're if
you're recording multiple people and you can only cook one microphone to a camera
so you can be able to do different things like split the audio into
different files meaning you can run one microphone on the left side one
microphone on the left side and then you know be able to EQ the vocals so that
you can match up you know sometimes one person's one person speaking louder than
the other person they just have a different vocal way of you know
projecting it their voice and if it's all on the same track there's very
little you can do so this allows you to have more flexibility with that also
first off you can mount it on the top or the bottom of your camera you have a 20
inch 1/4 20 inch attachment on the top and it has this screw wheel so that you
can fasten it and tighten it to you to the man you know mountain mount it
tightly and then you have the hot shoe mount at the bottom you have cold shoe
mounts on both sides so you can attach microphones if you're mounted at the top
of the camera you know you can attach all your other stuff to it you can even
attach so you can attach three microphones and you know a livelier
microphone laughs whoo a receiver I should say or a a light you just it just
gives you the flexibility to put other things on top of it you have a 3.5
millimeter mic puts as well as your XLR points you have
line mic and phantom options on the other side you have the audio out
auxilary and headphone jacks along with power on and off the mono switch mono
and stereo switch and your left and right gain knobs let's look at the 3.5
millimeter cable you can plug it into Lion out on your mixer and into your mic
port onto your camera that's the way you get set up initially so I want you guys
to direct your attention to total audio levels right here so what's you're
currently seeing you see you're seeing the bars from the left and right so
excuse me because as I'm talking I got to make sure I'm talking into the
microphone so if I'm dipping okay with me so as you can see you see the bars
you're getting audio levels from both the left and the right channels right so
you have both microphones running one on the left channel one on the right
channel if I take this one out you'll see currently I'm not getting any audio
from this one you're only getting audio from this which should be if I remember
this correctly it's running on the left channel no this is the right channel so
as you can see the wrote mic Pro is picking up the audio here
now you know we now this one is running on the left side it's only picking up
this microphone so what you can be able to do in this situation is you know you
can EQ if ya if you're doing a two microphone setup you can EQ your levels
let me plug them back in so you can be running one person on this microphone on
the left channel the other microphones is on the second person on the right
channel and it can allow you to be able to EQ your levels this way you know
sometimes if you're doing interviews just whatever you're doing vlogging or
whatever one person's louder one person you know
you can use these knobs turn the volume up and down you can have versatility
over your audio loop files now at the same time I can take this one which is a
lavalier microphone also plug that in with the XLR cables and where's my right
ear so what I can do is and with this one with my lab here set up my
particular lavalier setup it has two microphones so let's say these two let
me plug it in let me start it up okay so we should be running I'm going to show
you I'm gonna plug these two out so that you can see we're running on the lavell
ear microphone and let me just make sure from the levels that we were definitely
getting levels all right so as you can see now we're running with the level ear
microphone so if I was doing the interview for instance this will be my
main audio files so with my setup like I said I can set up to level ears so I
have two people they're both talking and I'm capturing the audio now I can use
this one as a backup so that you know typically I always use backup to capture
the backup audio it helps me when I'm sinking it helps me I'm doing different
things if I'm doing different camera angles and stuff so you definitely and
just in general if for some reason you know you always need backup audio so
this could be my backup and I could be running my mains on let's say the left
channel I can this one on let's say the left channel I
think I said that right she know what I'm saying so it gives you
that versatility now you can take it a step further if the Labrador if I'm
running the level ears with my mains I could have that let's say the level ears
would be on the left channel I can take both of these and put them on on the
right channel for instance and I could mix it up like that or I can take the
main lavalier so that's two people I can take this one and have it in front of
somebody else because remember you don't have to have all these mounted you know
you can always have it somewhere else as long as it's connected and you can have
it if for instance I only have two level air microphones if I'm doing something
with three people I would take this microphone sit it in front of the third
person now I'm capturing that audio now let's say for some reason and this
typically happens I'm behind the camera but sometimes I get involved in the
conversation I'm behind the camera I'm not capturing any audio of myself so
the people in the room may be able to hear me but you want camera you can't
hear me so I'm part of the conversations loss it kind of makes that you know type
of conversation awkward so I can just keep this microphone here and then this
one is pointed behind the camera this capture my audio so I'm capturing all
these different audio sources in this one through this one device whereas
typically you plug one thing into your camera and that's the only audio source
that you're picking up so the point is this just gives you ton of versatility
it has a aux cable in the back to not even get into the different things you
can do with that but it also has the headphone jack so that you can monitor
your audio you can hear what's coming out the left was coming out the right
you can hear what's coming out both it has the mono and stereo features it has
the phantom power and you know it's just so so versatile
so you can capture official professional quality audio with whatever you're doing
so again this is not something that you're gonna use all the time you're not
going to typically be used in all these microphones but it all depends on what
the situation is what you're doing and it just gives you that versatility and
full control over everything so it's definitely something that if you know
you just want to have this if you don't need it necessarily now it's something
that you always want to have just have it in you and your arsenal because you
never know when you might you know need it and this is something for me you know
definitely recording a lot of interviews and stuff this is going to come in handy
it's already in the past three weeks that I've had this is this come in handy
so it's definitely something you want to check out so now we're back to just two
shotgun microphones the left or the right so just again just to show you one
more time before we end this pull this out so now we're not getting any audio
through here we're getting all the audio on the left on the right side through
this microphone plug this out I believe also I can just turn it down let me just
make sure to show you guys I have both of these my and I'm gonna come behind
the camera so just paint put your attention right here to the bars so I'm
behind this so I'm capturing both sets of audio as clearly as possible now if
for some reason let's say I can just turn the left out so like I was telling
you you can EQ or kind of EQ your vocals if one person might be louder or they
just have a stronger voice I can turn this down so as you can see the left
sides going down now I'm gonna completely turn this left side off now
you only seen one the right side moving so I can turn this one back up let's say
almost all the way let's say I'm gonna put this one halfway and I'm gonna turn
this one all the way down so as you can see you have a lot of control so I'm
going to turn everything back up so it just like again it just gives you these
kinds of options to be able to capture as much audio as you need so definitely
definitely give this thing a shot definitely check it out a few drawbacks
that I've noticed I would like if it had a display an audio display monitor sort
of so that I can check my levels that would be nice but you know hey the
battery compartment is annoying because you have to use something to pry it open
to get the battery in and out I don't know why they did it like that so
normally I keep a flat head screwdriver there's always one around so I always
use that to pick it in and pull it out but overall if you have to have
something handy that you can stick in there or you're gonna have issues or
unless you have nails which I don't it's hard to get in and the battery in and
out of the port when the mixer is mounted to the top of the camera it's
kind of hard to keep it in place it just doesn't it doesn't stay in place I'm
gonna try to like maybe put an extra washer on there or something it can be
annoying sometimes when you're moving around a lot a lot of times when it's
just stationary and you're not doing a lot of touching it and moving it around
it's not really going to be an issue but it does move a lot and depending on your
situation that'll drive you crazy overall though the positives greatly
outweigh the few negatives with this and with that said the kaamika CVM 8 X 3
audio adapter is definitely radar approved there is a link in the
description if you want to check it out on Amazon til next time thank you for
