Hi guys! I need some help with reducing static/noise/hiss from my audio. I have a rode svm connected onto a canon hfs10 via 3.5mm insert. Here's the problem: I have to reduce the mic level (on hfs10) to about a little less than 1/3 of the gauge in order to not hear a constant hiss: i use headphones connected via headphone jack on hfs10 to listen to audio). Going on, when I reduce the mic level to the point of no hiss, recording sound becomes quite hard; either the mic has to be very close (5 to 10 inches for decent sound) to the sound source or the sound source has to be quite loud.
Now the question! Will something like the juicedlink cx231 or other such preamps (beachtek dxa 6) allow me to reduce noise AND up the sensitivity (volume gauge) of the mic? I think solving my problem is what preamps are for but I just wanna be sure I haven't misunderstood what preamps do.
...I understand 3.5mm is not the best but I'd already bought the svm before I found this site . Thank you for your help and advice!
