Audio field mixer and mics

[Ty Ford]

Thanks for your thoughtful reply, John.

I know of the CK93, but haven’t used it yet.

The Countryman B6 are also very high on my list for waterproof, hiding and sound.

Regards,

Ty Ford

Thanks for the article Ty, though I did not understand a word of it. Somebody on another site wrote that you said you liked the low-end of the NTG-2 more than the NTG-3. Anyhow, I clearly don’t know enough to even ask an intelligent question about the differences between two mics.

Just to let you know that we’ve decided to spend the cash and get the SD702 and a NTG3 – I think it’ll definitely be worth it in the long run. It’s arriving tomorrow, looking forward to recording some half decent audio for a change!

Thanks again for your help Audio Pro’s,

Matt

“Ty- I have both the G2 & G3 systems, and while the G3 stock lav is preferred over the G2 I still prefer the Countryman B3 sound over both… I also like the size, since I usually have to hide the lav on the talent. If they’re not having to hide the lav- then the G3 lav sounds okay out in the open.”

If you have the G2/3 EW 112 then you get the ME2 omni. If you get the EW 122 then you get the ME4 cardioid. It’s a wide cardioid and sounds a lot better than the omni. In fact I prefer it over the B3.
