blacksonfilmworks Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Hi there, I recently started using the amazing c70 but have been unable to successfully connect my lavalier microphones. I used the same mics with the c100 for years without issue, but after troubleshooting and lots of tinkering within the audio menus I just can't get them to work. Below is what I'm using: RODELink Filmmaker Kit Digital Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/802458903-USE/rode_rodlnk_fm_rodelink_filmmaker_kit_digital.html/accessories?gclid=Cj0KCQiA8t2eBhDeARIsAAVEga2xpg2tMlCMEA1t7M6eRpwVmo2fINxgaGx44fNu-vX9GlRYzCtpKXEaAoRyEALw_wcB Devinal 3.5mm to Mini XLR calbe, 1/8 inch Stereo to 3 Pin Mini XLR Male Cord Adapter Connector https://www.amazon.com/Devinal-Adapter-Connector-Balanced-Mini-XLR/dp/B07ZGPWWXR/ref=sr_1_6?crid=ZLDKGG16YSXE&keywords=mini+xlr+devinal&qid=1675092469&sprefix=mini+xlr+devinal%2Caps%2C114&sr=8-6 Has anyone else experienced this issue? I see now that the RODELink filmmaker kits are no longer in production, but I can't see any reason why they wouldn't work with the c70... If there's any further information I can provide please let me know Thanks for the help and advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubrickian Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Have you tried it recently with a different camera? I had that lav mic and it quickly died one day. I would also try without the xlr adapter. Just go straight into the 3.5mm input on the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac6000cw Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (Not used either the camera or Rodelink, so this is theoretical based on looking at the data as an electronics engineer) Based the datasheet info for the Rodelink receiver: Quote Output connection: 3.5mm TRS jack socket – dual mono with thread lock ...i.e. an unbalanced output, so either do what Kubrickian suggested (plug it into the 3.5mm input on the body), or try an 'unbalanced' 3.5mm to mini-XLR adaptor (the one you linked to is described as a 'balanced' adaptor which are wired differently). Balanced adaptors are usually wired like this - https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51eO1-tF2uL._SX522_.jpg Unbalanced adaptors are usually wired like this - https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ysy5S3oiL._AC_SX466_.jpg Kubrickian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
