I'm pretty sure you should be able to use the Rode with the DVX using the adapter - there are people talking about doing this OK in forums, if you google. Assuming that it *should* work, the only thing that will get you there is systematic trial and error testing of each device. First thing, try plugging the Rode into another recording device - make sure it's working OK. If so, then it's something in the camera or the adapter that's wrong - either turned off, or switched to the wrong setting. Switch between the Line/Mic setting in the menu. Make sure you know which specific Audio input you're using and check in the menu that it's ON and the recording levels are up, in the camera menu. Is the adapter powered? Could you try turning on and off the power in the adapter *and* the phantom power in the camera? Keep turning everything on and off, trying every combination. If you're out of all other options, I guess, you could read the manual, see if there are any hidden tips ;)

Well it does not seem to be working. I know it's not the adapter because it's works with my handheld microphone. So does anyone know about this? Anyone have the Rode and the any camera that has XLR inputs? Any help is appreciated Heath http://batmangeek.com http://heathparks.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
