I recently bought the Saramonic Uwmic9s and I am having trouble setting it up I've went through all the settings on the transmitter, receiver and camera but there is still a hiss in the background. Im fairly new to this and am not sure if there is something I've missed, or if its the fact that it is UHF instead of 2.4GHz and it is out of my control and I'll just have to fix the sound in post. Any help would be appreciated.

 

It has nothing to do with the RF-Frequency being used.

Have You actually recorded a conversation yet ?

The Input-Gain on the Camera is probably maxed-out.

I have recorded using the mics and adjusted the settings nothings seemed to help as the camera only has a general "record level" for the audio settings there is no specifics for gain. The only other adjustments are attenuator and wind disturbance.

 

"Attenuator" is a Gain-"Reducer",
meaning that, the Gain is "normally" at it's maximum,
which also happens to equal, maximum Background-Noise amplification.

"Wind-Disturbance" is a very-low-Frequency "Cut",
AKA- a "High-Pass-Filter".

thank you that is good to know I have not recorded me having a conversation with someone else yet. Is there a difference between me just talking versus if its a conversation?

 

You need to learn about setting Volume-Levels.

Many people go to great lengths to have "perfect" "Lighting-Levels",
and "Color-Temperature",
at crazy-high Video-Resolution,
but they completely ignore the Audio-Quality.

Lavalier-Mics are a good start.

When recording indoors,
the most important factor is the room-sound-treatment.

so would it be ideal to have the attenuator enabled or disabled?

 

If your Mic-Receiver has enough Output-Level
then the Attenuator should be used to reduce Background-Noise.

Read the instructions.
The Receiver has a Volume-Control which should be set to MAX,
unless You get noticeable Distortion in the Audio-Recording.

A reviewer at bhphotovideo says "The only thing to watch for is they are a bit hot. Set the transmitter sensitivity to 4 and the receiver's volume to 10"
