  • What’s a good external mic for live shows/event coverage?

    Posted by Richie Edquid on November 24, 2007 at 3:41 am

    When I video tape at concerts or inside night clubs the sound from the loudspeakers typically over power the internal mic on my video camera. I’m wondering what kind of compact microphone would let me record without distortion. I’m not always looking to record whoever is performing, I just want to be able to record in a loud place without the audio sounding distorted.
