I’d say go with the RE50.

Well, sort of, but not entirely. The more directional a mic is, usually, the more susceptible it is to Proximity Effect. With PE, the closer you get the more low frequencies you hear. P popping has a lot of low frequency energy.

Hand held mics usually have a lot of pop protection built into the headgrille. The 4053b does not because it’s more and instrument or boom mic. I can pop the bejeebers out of my Schoeps CMC641 for the same reason.

Hand held mics for interview are typically the EV 635, RE50ND, MD46, MD42 and Rode Reporter. They are designed to be worked closely. You can still pop them, but it’s difficult to do.

To start cheaply, try the AT8136 foam windshield.

If that’s not enough, try a Rycote Baby Ball Gag will improve your chances of survival. The shaft of the AT4053b is 21mm, so this Baby Ball Gag. https://bhpho.to/2xo1Rc2

Want something less visibly intrusive? Try a Rycote 5cm Super-Softie Windshield with 3D-Tex (19/22)

Here’s another solution; get the AT4049b-EL omni capsule, unscrew the 4053 and screw on the 4049b-EL.
https://bhpho.to/2JdJ5IP The 4049b-EL and the Baby Ball Gag together will greatly reduce your popping.

How’s that?

About popping: If you were holding that mic as a hand-held news gathering mic, you could definitely get popping. That’s not how it’s expected to be used.

About clipping: Everyone is different. Some people are quiet talkers, some people are even talkers, some people are all over the road.

Noam,

Hold it below your mouth, maybe 4-6 inches away and point it at your mouth and and talk over it, not into it.

Hello Noam,

How are you using the mic now? On a boom? For VO?

Hello Noam,

You’ll likely get differing opinions. Mr. Toline who posts here doesn’t like them, saying if someone walks between the transmitter and receiver, you’ll lose the link. I don’t know if this is hearsay or actual experience.

I have had acceptable experience up to 100 feet and sometimes further. I ran the Rode Performer system reliably at a local bar/club with the receiver 15 feet to the side of the stage.

125 feet with the Audio technica System 10 in a filled underground parking garage and through the floor with ease in a 1959 rancher.

Maybe rent one and try it at the venue in question?

Hello Andy and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

I’d say you have a plate full of “what-ifs” and “I don’t knows.”

You may already have been to their drivers and software page. https://tascam.com/product/us-122/downloads/

My first suggestion would be to reach out to TASCAM. They have very good product support.

Hi Tom,

You could get a 3.5mm TRS to two Male 1/4″ Y-cord and plug that in to the box
Keep that cord short.

” the intelligence isn’t in the mechanical presentation of the cable, but in the circuitry and physical wiring of the cable.”

yup, you got it!!! There are transformers in the box to create a balanced circuit. The balanced circuit is he intelligence that will allow the radio station to be cancelled out.

Chris,

The 10L only puts out 2V. The AT doesn’t require ANY volts. I doubt that I’d put it in front of my mouth. Along the cheek should b fine.
