FX3 Audio Help for Wedding

Hey lovely people,

I am shooting a wedding this weekend with my FX3 + XLR handle. The DJ has confirmed he will be using a Yorkville PGM8 Mixer. I want to connect the DJ's mixer to my FX3's XLR handle's port to capture the audio feed throughout the course of reception. 

The DJ sent me the images of the Yorkville PGM8 Mixer (see images attached).

The DJ says most videographers connect to the "Media In/Record Out" ports, but he can't confirm which specific ports and if I need to connect to both L and R.

My questions are:

  • What type of cable will I need to connect from the mixer to my XLR handle's port
  • For the mixer's side, which port(s) do I connect to? Do I connect to the Media In or the Record Out, and do I connect to L, R, or both?
  • When I connect the two, do I need to turn Phantom Power on or off?

If there's anything else I should know, please feel free to do so!

Thanks in advance

Bought all of this for $4,600 CAD

With the recent release of the FX5, I was thinking of holding out on the FX3 until it dropped below $4k (was planning to wait until I found one with the XLR handle for $3.5k). I was browsing around online and found a guy who bought the FX3 along with all these accessories brand new from Vistek around May 2026; he tried his hands on it but decided videography isn’t his thing, so he wanted to offload everything. I was able to buy from him:
-FX3A w/ XLR handle
-FX3 cage from Smallrig with side handles
-Smallrig monitor mount
-Atomos Shinobi 2
-V mount battery vb99
-shotgun mic
-matte box
-OWC Atlas 480gb CFexpress Type A sd card

Still in shock that someone would practically give this away. The guy was super nice and even showed proof with receipts that match the serial # of the camera and his name on the receipt. Can’t wait to use it at my first wedding gig in a couple weeks!

What’s been your biggest deal?

Help | Issues with Speed Ramping

Hi, the first picture is what my keyframes look like when I ease in/out. The second photo is a screen grab of a video I found online showing what I'm looking to achieve. I feel like I'm following all the same steps, but my speed ramp looks off. Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or what I'm overlooking?

DaVinci Resolve Studio 21.0.1

Thanks in advance.
