I used a SONY ECM-MS907 battery powered stereo mic with a 3.5mm plug going thru a splitter to standard XLR then into the Blackmagic XLR to mini XLR adapter cables. The result was that I can now record sound on both channels using the mic inputs. However, the sensitivity settings had to be put up to full scale to get the same level of sound that I got using the internal microphone and preamp of the Nikon D750. I would like to get more microphone sensitivity.
Is this because the preamp in the BMDVA4K isn't as sensitive as the Nikon or is that the unit only takes XLR powered microphones? I am considering a RØDE VideoMic PRO stereo mic which uses a 9V battery and has a 20dB boost mode. Will this overcome the problem?
