Sony HDR-FX1, line in

RightMark Audio Analyzer test


Source: CD playback from Pioneer DV-343 player, line out
Camcorder audio mode: 16-bit, 48 kHz

FX1 manual audio level wheel set at "3" out of 10.
Anything higher and the effect of some kind of limiter shows up,
arguably a good feature to prevent clipping, but complicates testing.
