- 
-====== Audio ====== 
- 
-> Complete (18.02.2019). No pics for plugs, etc. here, because it's in-camera help and drawings for soldering doesn't help that much in this respect, IMO.  
- 
-> And if Audio screen isn't visible this help text won't be able to tell users why. That's one reason I opted for this screen to be visible at all times. 
- 
-Manual audio controls.\\ If you do not see this screen check these conditions: 
-  * 50D: Nope, no way to make it happen! 50D doesn't support audio recording. 
-  * Your cam may have restricted audio menu after loading module MLV_SND.mo:\\ 1100D, 650D, 6D, 700D, EOS M, 100D, 70D, EOS M2, 1200D\\ The only menu option you will see with MLV_SND active:\\ - MLV Sound 
- 
-The options available differ a lot depending on your camera type.\\ Please check [[https://builds.magiclantern.fm/features.html#Audio|feature matrix]] 
- 
- 
-===== Analog Gain ===== 
- 
-Gain applied to both inputs in the analog domain. Default is on and 23 dB. 
- 
-//Values:// 
- 
-**0**-32 **dB** (values: 0, 10, 17-32 in 3 dB steps) 
- 
-Analog does a great job of boosting the signal while retaining a low noise 
-floor and hence, [[http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=8549.0|dynamic range.]] If you use an 
-external preamp, set this parameter as low as possible otherwise, set it 
-as high as possible without [[http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=11063.0|clipping]] (audio meters 
-should be green). 
- 
- 
-===== Digital Gain ===== 
- 
-In-camera digital gain. Default is 0, 0, OFF 
- 
-//Submenu options:// 
- 
-==== Left Digital Gain ====  
-0 to 36 dB 
- 
-==== Right Digital Gain ====  
-0 to 36 dB 
- 
-==== AGC ====  
-**OFF**/ON 
- 
-Applying digital gain in-camera is not recommended as any non-zero value reduces 
-audio quality and you can achieve the same effect with more control in 
-post, but it can serve as an evaluative tool on set. You can apply 
-digital gain in 6dB increments to the left and right channel 
-independently. AGC is auto mode and is applied only in digital domain. 
-It overrides digital gains, but you can still adjust analog gain. 
- 
- 
-===== Input source ===== 
- 
-Mic configurations. 
- 
-//Values:// 
- 
-**Internal mic** your camera's internal mic(s) 
- 
-**L:int R:ext** 
- 
-**External stereo** 
- 
-**L:int R:balanced** (internal mic on Left, external mic on Right from both external pins as balanced audio) 
- 
-**Auto int/ext** camera detects if a mic is plugged in. Int is dual mono, ext is stereo. 
- 
-Balanced audio allows for very long cable runs without interference. Usually 
-balanced mics have three pin XLR connectors and it is very easy to put 
-together an XLR to Canon mic input cable. Balanced allows us to use such 
-pro mics with our little Canons and this is a very welcome surprise for 
-audio guys. You can feed an [[http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=1944.0|external audio source]] into the 
-camera giving you the option of using higher quality mics, although this 
-is not [[http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=8836.0|straight forward.]] 
- 
- 
-===== Wind Filter ===== 
- 
-Digital high-pass filter. 
- 
-//Values:// 
- 
-**On or Off** 
- 
-Canon's audio controls have no effect, they are completely overriden by ML and 
-the wind filter has been known to mute external mics, so if you're 
-having that problem on an earlier build turn it off. [[http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=4234.msg27693#msg27693|To use or not?]] 
-Also see [[http://www.akm.com/akm/en/file/datasheet/AK4646EN.pdf|AK4646 datasheet p.34.]] 
- 
- 
-===== Mic Power ===== 
- 
-Power for mics. 
- 
-//Values:// 
- 
-**ON** input impedance is 2 kOhm. 
- 
-**OFF** input impedance is 30 kOhm. 
- 
-Required for internal mic and certain types of external mics, but it reduces 
-input impedance. This setting is always ON when input source is either 
-internal mic or L:int R:ext. See[[http://www.akm.com/akm/en/file/datasheet/AK4646EN.pdf| AK4646 datasheet p.31.]] and the Mic 
-power control thread. [[http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=2666.0|Results of audio tests with ML and Canon 550D, T2i.]] 
- 
- 
-===== Headphone Mon. ===== 
- 
-Audio monitoring with headphones, using the A/V cable. 
- 
-//Values:// 
- 
-**On or Off** 
- 
-To use audio monitoring, you need a special cable: your Canon A/V cable 
-with a RCA - 3.5mm jack adapter a dedicated cable from Sescom or you may 
-solder it yourself (you will have to cut your A/V cable). Mobile phone 
-cables will not work; even if the connector looks similar, it's not 
-identical. You must use the original cable which came with your camera. 
-For details, see Audio monitoring HOWTO on Vimeo group. Disable this 
-setting if you are using a SD monitor. This feature is not available on 
-600D/T3i. 
- 
-Tip: Before cuting/soldering or ordering a monitoring cable check [[https://builds.magiclantern.fm/features.html#Audio|feature matrix]] if this feature is available for your cam at all. 
- 
-===== Headphone volume ===== 
- 
-Digital output gain for audio monitoring. 
- 
-//Values:// 
- 
-**0-6 dB** in 2 dB increments. 
- 
-It does not have any effect on the internal camera speaker. For best 
-results, you should a pair of low impedance headphones, for example 
-Audio Technica ATH-M50 (38 ohms). With high-impedance headphones, you 
-may have to use a headphone amplifier like FiiO E5. 
- 
- 
-===== Audio Meters ===== 
- 
-Display the input audio level. 
- 
-//Values:// 
- 
-From -40dB to 0dB, meters become yellow at -12 dB and red at -3 dB. Audio meters are only displayed in movie mode. 
- 
- 
-===== Speaker Volume ===== 
- 
-In-camera speaker. 
- 
-//Values:// 
- 
-**1 to 5** 
- 
- 
-===== Beep, test tones ===== 
- 
-Customize camera sounds. 
- 
-//Submenu options:// 
- 
-==== Enable Beeps ====  
-ML uses beep tones for several events. Turn them off if you have to go silent. 
- 
-==== Tone Waveform ====  
-Sine tones of lower frequency might be not audible on the internal speaker. Use square. Always check with Test beep sound. 
- 
-==== Tone Frequency ====  
-Default is 1 kHz. Range from 55 Hz (A1) to 12 kHz. Human ears are considered to be most sensitive between 2 and 5 kHz. 
- 
-==== Play test tone ==== 
- 
-==== Test beep sound ==== 
- 
- 
-===== MLV Sound ====== 
- 
-Only available when the [[#mlv_sndmo|MLV_SND]] module is loaded and active. See 
-[[#modules|Modules]] 
- 
-//Submenu options:// 
- 
-==== Sampling rate ====  
-8 - 48kHz the basic quality of your audio, the higher the better. 
- 
-==== Trace output ==== 
-ON or OFF 
- 
-When MLV Sound is ON, a separate WAV file is generated at the framerate 
-determined by your FPS setting in Canon Menu. When FPS Override is used, 
-only the framerate of raw video is affected, the WAV file will remain 
-either 24fps or 30fps depending on the FPS setting in canon menu. It is 
-not possible to playback mlv sound in-camera.
