Lavalier microphone to use with Zoom H2 recorder

[Chris Pulleyn]

FYI
Found this string while looking to do the same thing.

I have to send an inexperienced person out with a Handycam (quick and light travel the must in this case) to shoot a “quick n dirty” low budget podcast quality interview.

I have tested it and decided to send him off with an H2, with the power setting turned ON! (good call Sebastien, I’d never have looked) and Low or Mid gain and a lav that came with a Sennheiser SKP100 radio pack.
I’ll then sync over the voice and hope to get a better result than the built-in.

I know this will make the hardened Pros wince a bit but some people don’t always have the budgets to cover the best kit straight away.

Best to all

H2 “works only with stereo microphones”? Simply not true.

I’ve recorded hundreds of hours of lectures with a variety of mono lavaliers; I find the Giant Squid lapel mics an especially great value (see https://www.giant-squid-audio-lab.com/gs/gs-mono.html)

And yes, the H2’s built-in mics are unusually good.
