MICROPHONES….

[Chris Poisson]

edr,

Sennheiser and Audio Technica both make good wireless lavaliers which you should be able to plug into your camera, so sync is automatic.

I use a Sennheiser EW100 G2 which I got at Guitar Center for around 450 bucks. But, a great variety and great prices can be found here:

I agree, I have the good fortune to work close to Full Compass and Cal in their sales department is VERY helpful. I have both the Sennheiser EW112P wireless for $450 and their ECM77B for $330, both work well.

Wireless is nice, but it’s also a whole other list of things to figure out.

The way I read the OP, I think “edr” is asking about VOICE-OVER work.

If that is the case, there are many mics for that pupose (and there’s no need for “wireless” in this case.)

I own and use several expensive studio condenser microphones.

But here is a link to a Mic that simply will work perfectly for VO work (and yes, it can make an “adequate” voice sound good and a “good” voice sound GREAT.)

The price is $59.99 (yes, that’s 1 cent under $60).

I’m not kidding, this is a terrific mic. It requires Phantom Power to run (the standard is 48 volts, but I have easily run this mic on 12v -20v Phantom power from a battery-powered mixer.)

This mic also sounds quite good on string instruments and woodwinds.
It is very sensitive and can be over-powered by percussion and some brass instruments.
There is another version (for about $100 more) that has a 10db attenuator for use under LOUD conditions.

Info on this mic has been posted on the COW many times and it ALWAYS gets surprised and grateful responses from those who buy it. There are hundreds (thousands?) of these mics in studios around the world.
