Sony HDR-SR12 and Sennheiser ew112-p G3 Compatibility

Hi there.

Thank you for having this forum available to everyone.

I recently purchased a Sennheiser wireless microphone package (ew112-p G3) to go with my Sony HDR-SR12 camcorder.

I hooked it up but have been getting crackling audio and don't know what to do to get clear audio.

I contacted the Sony call center in Florida and the person told me that the Sennheiser mic is not compatible with my camcorder. Is that possible?

If not, are there adjustments I can make to the microphone or camera to fix the audio?

Thank you,

David

Hey Sam,did they say why it wasn't compatible?First thing I think is maybe the camera has stereo input jack,and your sennheiser is mono and that could be solved with a simple adapter or rewire a stero jack on the sennheiser cord.Maybe the camcorder is supplying a voltage out for a supplying a outboard condenser mic???that could also be solved with an adapter.Maybe Sennheiser could give you an idea what could be done.
Good luck Dennis
