Hi Curtis, I have purchased the J-069 (as I did the excellent Mic J-044) and it does a good job - but there is some hiss that is not audible on your review audio. I suspect your radio mic transmitter is deploying a noise gate. Try it without the transmitter direct to your MIixPre mini jack. Also, like many small mics, the audio is out of phase - switch the phase on the MixPre when you are monitoring yourself speaking and you will hear the difference. Strangely the recorded audio also sounds richer when recorded with the phase inverted on the MixPre. It is not just your live voice v the mic audio in the headset out-of-phase effect. Someone mentioned that your voice sounded 'nasal' on this mic - but if you invert the phase when you record it will probably correct this. Give it a try if you have time.

Hi Chris, thanks for the info. I have learned that TRS plugs can be wired a few different ways: Sennheiser does it one way while most other devices do it a slightly different way. While the mic wired for Sennheiser will work any most other TRS input jacks, self noise performance is usually not as good. Are you using the version wired for Sennheiser?

@@curtisjudd Hi Curtis, thanks for your prompt reply ( am in the UK). The J-069 I have is a standard TRS not the Sennheiser plug. I generally have locking Senns which I think are wired with the ring shorted to the screen. Standard TRS on my J-069 I think puts the signal out on tip and ring - anyway I can get a signal from Aux2 on the MixPre3 as well as Aux1, which would suggest this. The hiss levels are quite low (but higher than the J-044) - so I am not complaining - just saying I can't hear any on your recording when you are not speaking (and I think I can just detect a bit of background hiss when you are) - which I why I think there may be some 'hidden' processing going on within your radio transmitter/receiver system - these systems are very clever at cleaning up the TX signal. Testing with the mic wired direct to the MixPre Aux should show it up - if it is there ! Re Out of Phase - many lapel mics are wired to get a boost in the signal (of about 10db) which can render the audio out-of-phase because of the way the FET works when wired to achieve this. If you are listening to your own voice whilst recording, an-out-of phase mic will probably sound 'thin' - lacking bass. If I switch in 160Hz bass cut on the MixPre3, the sound of my voice in my headset (live) becomes much deeper when the mic phase on the MixPre is set to 'normal' - in other words bass cut has the opposite effect on the 'live' sound you hear in your headset. (This problem does not arise when recording and monitoring someone else of course, it is only when you are monitoring your own voice - presumably because the mic sound is out-of-phase with your own real voice). With the MixPre Phase Inverted with an out-of-phase mic connected the bass cut operates normally and cuts the bass. The out-of-phase phenomenon does not have the same dramatic effect on the actual recording when you play it back - but I seem to get a much fuller and rounded recorded sound when using an out-of-phase mic if I have PHASE INVERTED on the MixPre. We tend to think of out-of-phase only being a problem when you have 2 or more mics but there also seems to be a phase issue with a single mic. All very interesting - and goes to show that you can't always trust what you hear when recording your own voice ! If you have a moment give it a try ! Many Thanks.

Hello, Curtis! Greetings from Korea. I was wondering if you could do a Zaxcom Maxx review. I rent F8n for my short films these days, and actually saving money using that way for purchasing a recorder of my own. Therefore I wanted to know if Zaxcom is worth the price, so that if it turns out positive, I could purchase it with no hesitation and use it as a main gear in any type or size of a production I’m in. And I also subscribe your audio channel, which always being extremely helpful, and I was thinking if you could do a session of how much of a sound post you can do without protools or adobe audition. Such as using logic or cubase, and auphonic like you’ve already introduced. I thought of this because I used to be in a poor sound post environment, with out protools, or audition and proper mixing tools so on and so forth. I guess many people watch your videos might be in that kind of a situation as well, and those who mainly does music and wanna use their daw for a mixing tool could possibly get some help from such a concept. Apologize if my english was not fluent enough, always appreciate every work you do. Thank you ;)

Hi, thanks for the request. I would love to get my hands on a Zaxcom Maxx for review. The trick is going to be how to do that. I'm based in Utah where we don't have any sound rental houses and I don't quite have the budget to purchase one. But I will try to find one. My overall impression is that the Zaxcom Maxx is a great recorder. I happened to choose the Sound Devices 633 instead, but my senes is that both are very capable (there are pro location mixers using both).

Hi George, I have generally shied away from cardioid lavalier mics because they generally sound rather thin/midrange focused. Additionally, they are difficult to position optimally, especially if they move much. All that to say I don’t really know of any cardioid lavalier to recommend. However, one note about Omni-directional lavaliers and noisy locations: don’t discount them based on their polar pattern. They actually can work well in noisy locations because the inverse square law: the mic is very close to the sound you want to capture and relatively far from the noise you do not want to capture. Also, the person’s body naturally blocks the sound behind them. They actually can work quite well in coffee shops and the like.

@@curtisjudd Thank you so much for your response, Curtis, I really appreciate it, as I'm quite overwhelmed with options in the world of recording audio. ;-) My idea is to record both my acoustic guitar and my voice using an iPhone with separate mono channels. As the iPhone's input jack allows to connect a stereo microphone, I'm thinking about the possibility to split the stereo signal into two separate mono channels using a breakout cable (www.aliexpress.com/item/32909864357.html), then connect my guitar to the left mono signal and my microphone to the right mono signal. Do you think this might work? Currently, I have an iRig2 (www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irig2/) that allows me to connect my 1/4" cable coming from my guitar to an 1/8" input. This should work to connect to the 1st input of a breakout cable. I also have a generic lavalier microphone that would work for the 2nd input of the breakout cable, but I'd like to have a better microphone that doesn't catch as much environment noise (for street conditions when busking), so I thought one of those headsets that are mentioned by you could work. What do you think? Can I connect literally any headset like this to my breakout cable's input (as long as it has got an 1/8" plug)? Do you think this setup would work? Thanks a lot for help, it's so valuable to be able to talk to somebody with experience in this respect, as I'm pretty overwhelmed... ;-)

As such, the audio breakout cable and two mono signals (one from my guitar, the other from a microphone) sounds optimal. So again, do you think I could just connect such a headset you're talking about to one of the mono inputs of the stereo breakout cable, and then connect the whole thing to the audio jack of my iPhone (it's an old one that still has an audio jack)? I know that I CAN'T connect my generic condenser mic, as it's very, very quiet (you nearly can't hear it); but my generic Lavalier works well (although I need a mic that is better protected from environment noise).

Sorry this is a bit off topic. I have transceiver I use with my headset and tv. I was wondering if you can use 2 of these bluetooth transceivers to connect a wireless lav mic to a field recorder or camera to create a wireless setup? Thanks if you have a chance to answer

Hi J.R., I’m not sure how the in/out jacks on these transceivers are pinned/wired so I’m not sure whether they’ll work. My guess is that they use some form of TRRS plug which likely will not work, but it probably would not hurt to try.

@@curtisjudd Mine has TRRS and I use a splitter for my TRS headphone jack. I'll grab a 2nd one and see if I can get a lav into my DR100...will let you know .. Worth a try for sure if it will work as a short-range wireless mic. Thanks! Happy and Successful New Year!

@@curtisjudd Test using an inexpensive Mi transmitter and a Diety lav worked pretty well to an Open Camera app on a Galaxy S7 Edge. Promising results for KZitem quality audio. I ordered a pair of higher quality transceivers with Bluetooth 5.0, APT-X Codec, good chipset and TRS in/out. Will test those with my Tascam recorder and smartphone. I don't have a camera with an audio input so can't test that. Will let you know if this turns out to be a viable short-range wireless option. I tested mine to about 15 meters and it did ok, no breakups.

I came across your video while looking for an affordable cardioid/unidirectional headset mic. Haven't been able to watch it yet, but just wondering if you think this mic will work better than an omni for isolating the speaker's voice from other sounds in the room? For example, it's a guitar teacher, so he's plucking strings, and he won't wear headphones, so there's also sound coming out of the speakers. I'm trying to only pick up his voice and common sense tells me that unidirectional makes more sense, but it's rare to see small headset mics that are uni... Thanks!

This is omni as well, as I recall. Just that it is closer to the mouth/source of the voice.

It is either seriously missing a portion of your voice frequency spectrum or you have a stuffy nose. Which is it?

The mic. :) it is actually heavy at around 800-1000 Hz. An EQ cut there can improve the sound but I didn’t so that everyone could hear it straight out of the camera.

Yes, only for cases where the mic showing is ok. Sometimes the ambient noise is so great, that it is better to see the mic and hear the person speaking.
