My audio is distorted, what should I do?
In the unlikely event that your audio distorts, reduce the input level on your mixing board, DSLR camera or other external device.

XS Wireless Digital has been designed to provide a clean, robust output signal, but you may need to adjust your external device the default settings on to achieve the best results.
