SKP 100 G3 for making handheld and shotguns mics wireless
 

Microphones > Wireless lavalier, shotgun, and handheld

Sennheiser ME66/K6 Short Shotgun

Providing twice the SPL output in tests of mics in it’s class, this has been our choice for an excellent quality shotgun. Compare to Audio Technica AT-897 when comparison shopping. This is the mic used in DVcreators.net products.
Keep in mind that this mic has become an industry standard over the last few years. You’ll probably go through a few cameras as technology evolves, but you’ll keep the same shotgun mic throughout the years. Any video production industry veteran will give this sage advice – usually acquired after years of learning the hard way. Audio is 50% of the project. Make sure you get the absolute best audio you can – don’t ever spend the whole budget on a really nice camera, think about the two things that are going to make your project more professional: high quality audio and great lighting. Summary

The ME 66 is a Super-cardioid shotgun microphone capsule designed for use with the K6 powering module with power supplied by battery or phantom power. It is especially suitable for reporting, film and broadcast location applications and for picking up quiet signals in noisy or acoustically live environments as it discriminates against sound not emanating from the main pick-up direction. Matte black, anodized, scratch-resistant finish.


Features
Super-cardioid/lobar pick-up pattern
Highly directional
Low inherent self-noise
High sensitivity
Wide frequency response

Sennheiser MD46 Handheld interview microphone

Unlike traditional handheld mics, the MD46 was designed to be used outdoors in even a slightly windy environment yet still pick up to about a foot away and mostly eliminating anything beyond.

Listen to the superb quality of this mic in an interview with our friend Jerry Hoffman. This interview was shot using the Sennheiser Evolution G2 wireless shown above.
Omni microphones pick up everything equally, including background noise. The MD46 cardioid interview mic focuses on the subject, increasing clarity. Designed to have low handling and wind noise, and to eliminate vocal popping, this microphone gives the ENG team an ideal interview tool. (SKP100 plug on transmitter not included)

Why does audio sound bad, or need to be rendered, in Final Cut Pro, Avid, Premiere or iMovie?

April 28, 2008 in editing, post audio by Josh

Final Cut (and other editing apps) will accept many kinds and formats of audio for import into the Browser or Timeline.

However, just because they will, doesn’t mean you should! :)

If you import compressed audio, for example, in MP3 or AAC codecs, or audio in a different bit or sample rate than your Timeline (such as 44.1 KHz, 32 KHz or 12-bit), you will often hear clicks, pops, and audio dropouts while editing, which is distracting for your creative process, and in many cases your audio will require rendering before you can even hear it, which sounds like “beep-beep-beep-beep” and wastes a lot of your time.

Our solution is to batch convert all audio to 48KHz, uncompressed, stereo or mono for editing before importing.

We use DV Kitchen for this, it comes with a preset already designed for this.

AT4073a
Line + Gradient Condenser Microphone


The AT4073a sets new standards in small size and light weight. With an overall length of just 9.13” and weight of just 4.0 oz, the mic adds virtually no heft to the end of a fish pole or the top of a minicam. Through the use of an advanced, propriety Audio-Technica design, the interference tube of the AT4073a provides a narrow acceptance angle that would require a tube 50 percent longer using conventional technology. Audio-Technica has pioneered a unique interference tube design* in the AT4071a and AT4073a shotgun mics that provides the same directivity as mics up to 50 percent longer.

  • Designed for critical long-distance pickup in broadcasting, film/TV production and theater sound reinforcement applications
  • Direct-coupled, balanced output ensures a clean signal even in high-output conditions
  • Exclusive acoustic design* provides same directivity as mics up to 50% longer

The Sennheiser MKE400 Shotgun Mic

January 13, 2007 in location sound gear by guy

Over a year ago I had the opportunity to examine a little shotgun mic from Sennheiser called the ME36. We’re talking tiny – look at your pinky finger and imagine a shotgun mic that small! This little wonder was initially released as a podium mic and that is where it has existed its moderately successful life. Well…I thought it would make an awesome on-camera mic if they would make a few changes.

In my testing I found the ME36 to be warm and natural sounding yet surprising directional. I waved it around and “Whooomp!” Overly sensitive on the low end with any movement. The mic definitely needed a high pass filter or “low end cut” to remove the rumble that made my headphones bottom out.

The bigger question was, how would this mount to a camera via the accessory shoe mount? No one had a shockmount even close to this small. And – how could we get power to this mic on a consumer/prosumer camcorder – the ME36 requires phantom power. Also, how would we get from the propriety mini XLR over to an 1/8″ miniplug?

Well, Sennheiser engineers listened and answered all these question. Here you are seeing a pre-release version of the new Sennhesier MKE400 camcorder microphone.

This folks, is going to be a killer mic for smaller cameras like the Canon HV20. You see, even the highly popular, extremely successful RODE Videomic can seem overwhelming on a palm-sized camcorder. It can also remind people they’re on camera. When you have a mic this small, you can really be unobtrusive and “blend in”. From what I’ve heard so far, the unit will be powered for 300 hours by a single AAA battery. There will also be XLR support and the unit will weigh less than 3oz. Amazing sound in a small package! Good things are yet to come!
