Basically what I need is a piece of equipment that can take in an XLR audio feed and convert it to the 1/8'' jack that the mic input on my HV40 can accept. I shoot a lot of live music videos and events and I would like to get a direct feed from the PA into the camera as opposed to just picking up what all the speakers are blaring out on the camera's mic.
I'm thinking about shopping around at B&H for one. It would be even nicer to get one that can attach to the bottom of the camera and fit onto a tripod... I know these exist because I've used one before...
1. Does anyone know what these are called exactly? I've heard "DI box"...
2. What would be a good brand to go for? I'd like to keep it under 200 bucks if possible.
Hopefully somebody on here can help. I doubt I'll be able to find this at a regular electronics store.
