so i see this sync solution with the olympus stereo mic to get on board sound (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/496651-REG/Olympus_145037_ME_51S_Stereo_Microphone.html) and i have a rode video mic (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/363083-REG/Rode_VIDEOMIC_VideoMic_Camera_Mounted.html)

ive been told i need a stereo to mono adapter to get my rode to work with the scarlet but i dont understand how this mic works cause it looks like stereo plug also just like my rode. what am i missing here?

I have an A-box and it works pretty sweet.

Does anyone have problems with their audio popping. It's a pretty consistent low pop. I've had it with every microphone

You can use a small cellotape over the conectors at the lensmount...that could solve your problem. There still working at this bug

Popping Audio on Scarlet (3.0.0 firmware)

Popping Audio on Scarlet (3.0.0 firmware)

Hello -- I have random audio popping (you can even see it on the VU meters), especially on channel 1. Even with no mics connected. Sometimes a segment or two will light up (ch 1 especially) - with nothing inserted into the 3.5mm mic ports. Then, very rarely, there will be an extremely fast, very large burst on channel 1 (still with nothing inserted in the mic ports).

Is this happening on other Scarlets ? Seems to me I heard that removing the SSD side car & reseating it was suggested as a fix. (Before I do this, I'd like to know the root cause, rather than shotgunning.)

Comments ? Especially if others are seeing the same thing.

TIA,
Serge
Scarlet #1534, Ti Canon Mount, with either the 5.6" monitor or the Bomb, DSMC side handle, SSD sidecar, and Wooden Camera Quick Back (backplate & pin protector), firmware 3.0.0

I've been saying this all along. Do you really want to place a microphone that far away from the actors, and within 3 inches of the camera fan? "Reference Audio" is worthless if there's tons of noise going on. The microphone has to go close to the actors -- that's a simple rule of physics.

As in my post, i recommend placing the mic away from the fan using the extension cable included.

Here is one example:

I've have the olympus mic and the Video Pro Mic and they both work fine for reference. If close to the fan at 30 percent speed is fine.
