Hero 6 audio options - please explain
[ New ]Standard mic
Powered mic
Line in
I am using the GoPro 3.5mm adaptor that is hooked into my aviation headset that I am recording.
I am struggling to understand the difference between standard (”supports non-powered") , powered ("self-powered") and line in. I've tried some testing and found varying results between line in and standard but would like a clear explanation of each setting so I can make an educated decision.
Solved! Go to Solution.

[ New ]Hello @clarky75,
I see. I tried searching online for a description or explanation but I am not getting the desired results. I have come across these though:
1. https://www.desktop-documentaries.com/different-types-of-microphones.html
2. https://www.videomaker.com/article/c4/15358-microphone-types
And here for some tips on maximizing audio using your GoPro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MnKgfhNjl0
Not directly related but one that gives ideas.
Thanks,
Marius

[ New ]Hi @mariustanya . Thanks for that, I had found that article. Unfortunately it doesn't give a layman explanation of standard, powered, line in so I'm still at bit of a loss as to what an aviation headset is classed as and why. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Ben
