Hi !

How it will possible to adjust the right audio level on the redcam? I haven't seen some potentiometers or something like that? Will be there an option for a audio level meter in the camera??

I searched for "audio levels" (http://www.reduser.net/forum/search.php?searchid=216726) and came up with many threads that address your question... including a thread called Audio Controls (http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=3283&highlight=Audio+Levels).

Yep.
Here is an answer from Gibby, posted in another thread :

Some comments by Stuart English about the audio on RED One:

"All four audio inputs are mic/level switchable

All inputs support 48V phantom power for mics

The camera can suppress any active cooling (and hence sound) during a take

RED-DRIVE and RED-RAM and RED-Flash are all fan-less designs

Each audio input is sampled at 48KHz at 16 or 24-bit depth

We have considered methods for pre-digitized audio capture, but we have no news to share at this moment."

"This audio levels question has been answered before …of course you can do that.

There are menus to control audio level of course, but those map to a physical input device - primarily the joystick, or you can assign individuals channels to other physical controls on the camera body, or to a SuperGrip. Via USB or wireless there is the possibility of other physical expressions for multi-channel audio level control.

The other comment I would offer is a 24 bit 48KHz audio recording has WAY more dynamic range than your normal 16 bit 48KHz recording, just as 12 bit RAW has WAY more dynamic range than 8 bits 4:2:2 video recording."

(confirmed in next post on that page that audio level info will be available in the EVF)
