to go further off topic - fortunately for me, anytime we're recording critical audio it's either an interview set or a live show...in either case, my Sennheiser or AKG cans come along. I can see though where noise at a live event would be a problem cause even our newest camera (only 2yrs old - still a babe) seems a bit underpowered in the HP volume. I monitor at about 3/4 of the power.
But, to get back on track - I've only noticed low volumes due to the underpowering as opposed to bad audio...then again, my experiences are with a limited audio source (human voice) and usually monitored through a $60K camera.
All of that to say, "I have no clue."
