Chris,

Any boom mic more than 2 feet away will sound unappealing and your clients will shriek and run away.

Hello Chris,

I understand your concern. I’m not sure it’s a problem, but I’m not sure it’s not.

The other thing you could do is wear the headset mic and plug it into a small recorder. Record your audio and sync it up to the video by recording a scratch of your audio from one mic in the room to the camera and using Pluralize to sync the two together in post. It’s very easy to do these days.

Here’s the recorder. Tascam DR 10L portable recorder: https://bhpho.to/2FybN1q

It takes a 1/8″ mono mic input, so you could use it with the headset mic that clips on both ears.

Hello Chris and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

I don’t think you’ll like the sound from you’re multi boom approach.

How physical are you getting?

Hey Bob,

The B6 has a little more self noise because its diaphragm is so small, but in most cases, it’s just fine.

Hi Bob,

I’ve been using Countryman EMW and B6 for a long time.

I hear good things about the OSCAR lavs, but I haven’t used them yet.

Hello Adam and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

I would guess no more enthralling than some of the music construction features found in Apple Logic Pro.

My problem with it is that it’s for iPhones and iPads. Call me a dinosaur, but due to IoS restrictions and hardware limitations, I find doing audio on those devices like trying to appreciate the Grand Canyon while looking through a key hole.

Thanks, Bob,

The G4 is orderable with the MKE-2.

Joel,

I like the two mic approach much better than a one mic approach . A wide cardioid placed between the two on the end and the one in the center, positioned while listening so each person is equally picked up.

You might try a stereo mic, like an Audio Technica BP4025.

A lot depends on placement but at the correct height (out of frame) you might be able to cover three people.

But those guys on the clip you put up. I’m pretty sure they’re on lavs. and their space is very controlled.

Joel,

Yes, that’s why I said what I did.
