No change in status of phantom power, but yes other audio improvements ..

Hi Stuart,

Are you able to elaborate on the improvements? I have read posts concerning Red's audio performance and also the Sound Devices review (I own the sound devices 722 - beautiful bit of gear).

I have been considering buying Red for some time but as I do documentary work the camera's capacity to capture usable audio using the microphone inputs is pretty important to me (though I do go line level in and capture double sound whenever possible).

PS my first post and I hope to be ordering RED soon.

I need exactly the same from the other reason.
Audio on RED is fine.
By the time you will get your camera you will not need this phantom power cables, I think.
Here is the sample recording from 5' distance with the phantom power ON.

So it seems that the camera "should" have phantom as it's an option in the menue and all other professional cameras do have it...when??

I have an issue with audio on the recent 16 build. I get a tone for audio on channel 1 and 2. Channel 3 and 4 don't work at all. Is this a known issue? Is there a fix?

Curious why the Phantom Power shuts off every time I restart the camera? Is this something that can be changed by the release build 16?
