Double system?

Double system. You record the audio on an audio recorder, the video on
a video recorder. You slate at the beginning of each take, and then you
line the two up together in editing. That way you don't have to deal with
the junk audio electronics in the video camera.

I couldn't find information on the Josephson C4 but

the AT4053 requires phantom power.

So does the Josephson, which is probably described atwww.josephson.com.
You'll find just about any condenser mike worth using does. If you need
to use an outboard phantom supply, Stewart makes a good one for cheap.

Thanks for the explanation. The double system makes sense, as does
Don's suggestion of going directly to the computer with audio which is
an option I have available to me now. I'll have to give that some
more consideration. I missed the Josephson C42 when I first looked on
their website as I was looking for mics that had an internal battery
power option in addition to phantom power. Thanks again.
