Man, I am so impressed by external mics. I have always used the on camera mic ><. Anyway, I hooked up a Rode Ntg-2 to a boom pole and hooked it up to an XH-a1. I plugged in these Sennheiser headphones, and turned on the phantom power.
I dont really hear a hissing sound. I hear... like... I know my microphone is on. I get the same results when I use my on-camera mic aswell; As soon as I turn on my phantom power, and put on my headphones, I am "aware" my microphone is on; if that makes any sense.....I just want to know if this is normal? Should I not hear anything? Should there be no sound, except for my shotgun mic picking up sound?
Thanks in advance
