Hi guys,
I have been asked to film a live set by a covers band who want to use the footage for a DVD, I have a Zoom H4N and when shooting weddings I plug it in to the sound desk via a XLR lead to capture the speeches etc and it works fine.
I am contemplating doing the same for the live band as every instrument is mic'ed up to the sound desk, so hopefully I would get nice clean audio... However I just want to check before I do this that its ok? Obviously with the speeches its pretty simple as its one channel and relatively low volume but with the band it will be multiple channels on the sound desk and fairly loud, just don't want it damaging my ZOOM...
Has anyone had experience with this?
