Do higher quality wind screens aid with p-pops? Im thinking of my AT 4053B?

[Noam Osband] “…the EV RE50 will be professional level audio?”

These things are used in about every local news broadcast in North America. It doesn’t get any more professional than that. Besides, that’s the design purpose of an RE50N — to be a reporter’s stick mic.

If you want to find out what an RE50N can really do, use one for interviews on a noisy trade show floor. Very impressive.

I feel like an idiot. But a newly educated one!

Let’s say I was doing a sit down interview where I can set up a mic stand. Would you still recommend the EV50 right next to the speaker or the 4053b a little bit father away?

Noam,

Do you want it in the shot? If so, you can use either.

If you don’t want it in the shot, boom the AT from above in a locked down stand.

What Ty said.

Ty,

Just following up. I’m doing my first sit down interview since we chatted. It’s just audio so how the scene looks is irrelevant. That being the case, I was going to use the AT 4053b, buy a mic stand so I don’t need a boom operator, and have it place above the talent for the sitdown interview. I can adjust the stand as needing during the interview if the person moves a bit.

Does that make sense? Based on what you said and other research, that’ll be better than doing it handheld with the EV-50.

Thanks so much. This forum has been so useful over the years.
