Hi
Do you know what microphone to use to capture live audio (rock concert)
with my Panasonic AG-HPX 171 DVCPro HD P2 Cam?
Is the Sennheizer Wireless SKM 100-865 G3D a good choice
I really want to look for a quality stereo mic for this camera
Anyone got experience or ideas? ( if I don’t use feed from the mixboard)

Hi
Just read your response while deciding to choose a new mac machine I struggling and can’t decide if I shall go with the latest 17″ i7 Macbook pro or a Mac Pro.
I shoot with a panasonic ag-hpx 171 dvcpro hd mainly in highest quality (50i) and want to have a smile on my face when editing and and doing export work on my soon to get mac.
Question is if the latest Macbook pro will do the job very well or just ok. I know there’s a limitation with the laptop model but thinking forward, and att the sametime I can’t afford two systems, I also need to be movable and have it as a workhorse and a presentation machine.
What are your experiences from this?

Thanks John
Good ideas, I will think about this and contact the audio company.
Last time in a concert hall i feed my Panasonic AG HPX 171 via cable from the mixerboard.
I used a traditional xlr cable from the mixerboard to my cameras audio input 1 set to “line”. (Is this the way to go ;)(So at that event I didn’t use any wireless system)
Maybe should I use two cables both input 1 and 2 to get stereo?
I agree about using the mixerboard as a source would be the best thing, but and but…sometimes there are very small event with mixers operated by the perfomers themslves and nobody really knows…It’ at those times I would like to have knowledge about what microphones that would make a good capture.
Seems like you’ve been shooting with the Panasonic HPX 500 (In your system details) so maybe there are similarities between my AG HPX 171 DVCPRO HD P2 camera!? How do you rig/think/use when preparing for an audio event on the field?

Hi
I shoot with the AG HPX 171 DVCproHD cam but I’m not that good in working with audio, so:.
I’m going to shoot an outdoor concert. What microphone do you suggest for best”catch”
I have today:
1 wireless Sennheizer eW 100 G2 mic (which I alternate with)
1 handheld Sennheizer SKM 100-865 G3D (This is said to be used mainly for intreview situations)
and 1 wireless receiver Sennheizer eW 100 G2.
If I use the wireless handheld mic on a tripod as I did last time I get only one channel (mono) Right?

What kind of microphones would you suggest shooting a concert
Any comments on live audio to learn more about doing right from the beginning would be brilliant!
