Thanks for this Thomas. I have a question. Which Lavalier would you recommend for being able to pick up very low frequencies, that is high quality? I don’t care about the brand - as long as it’s good quality and has a very low profile. Thank you.

Hi, are we talking about voice recording? Often times when a person have a deep rumbly voice it's common to use a lavalier that don't pick up a lot of low end. To balance it out a bit ;) If you're looking for an affordable lavalier with good low end and a regular 3.5mm TRS plug. I would recommend the Lavalier II or maybe the Boya BY-M1 Both of those are my two favorite lavaliers. And don't forget that you can always improve things in post. For other applications there's contact microphones that can pick up very low frequencies.

@thomasfransson
Жыл бұрын
If there's echo, there's usually going to be some degree of echo being picked up by the microphone. A lavalier is definitely a great choice for those situations. Your body will act like a shield or acoustic treatment for the microphone and reduce the amount of reflections being picked up by the microphone. Even with the front facing capsule the lavalier II will probably get you pretty good results. You could experiment with the placement and try to wear it fairly high up on your clothing. Another option could be the lavalier Go which might offer a slightly more directional pickup pattern. But in all honesty, it's a fairly small difference between those two in that regard, and the Lavalier II takes the cake when it comes to overall sound quality. Another option would be to find a corner in the garage where you could hang some thick fabric or blankets on the walls and maybe a cheap rug on the floor. These types of dampened V-shaped corners can work surprisingly well if you’re not happy with the results you get from the lavalier. Sorry about the long answer, but it always difficult to know exactly what's going to be the best solution. But a lavalier mounted close to your mouth is a great starting point. And by close maybe 2nd button on a shirt.

does the quality change when using the lavalier mic directly into the phone vs into the Rode Go II?
@thomasfransson
2 жыл бұрын
I guess it depends on how good of a job the input on the device does. Some phones will probably sound same/better and some worse despite loss due to the wireless transmission. The absolute best quality will be obtained with the GO II if you utilize it's internal recording feature and bypass the camera or phone completely. There's also the added advantage of having the safety track feature if you're using the GO II - incase you clip the main channel. But for most online use, recording on your phone will probably be good enough. It depends on what works best for you and the level of quality your projects need.

Hej. Jag filmar ofta utomhus tilsammans med mina getter. Jag vrider och vänder på huvudet och behöver ett headset. Helst med directional mikrofon så att min röst hörs över getterna. Jeg leker med tanken att denna kan monteras i Rødes headset och att själva microfondelen vrids mot mig. Vad tror du? I så fall ville det vara den billigaste headsettet med (de facto) directional mikrofon. Vad tror du? Jag har letat efter informasjon om en budget directional headsett utan att hitta något. Jag tror du ville få många ny abonenter om du gjorde den videon som youtube verkligen behöver. Om du skulle behøva bilder av en førtvivlad norsk getbonte/youtuber som letar efter en bra mikrofon så får du gärna använda någonting från min kanal eller så kan jag filma någonting åt dig. Hoppas du kan svara på min fråga... du har en mycket bra kanal

Intressant kanal. Jag skulle rekommendera att du investerar i ett trådlöst lavalier system ex. Rode Wireless Go II Du skulle kunna klara dig med den inbyggda mikrofonen på ett sådant system om du inte vill krångla med en lavalier. Med ett trådlöst system hamnar mikrofonen närmre dig. Det gör att den inte tar upp lika mycket av omgivningen Inklusive getterna då du är närmsta ljudkällan. Fördelen med Rode wireless Go II är att man har två sändare. Om man spelar in under en hel dag kan man alltid ha en sändare på laddning/laddad och klar för att byta om batterierna skulle ta slut. Normalt sett kan man räkna med ca 7h om man inte spelar in backup på sändaren. Men ca 4h om man använder inspelningsfunktionen. De har även inbyggd inspelning om det skulle bli något fel med kameraförbindelsen.

@@thomasfransson Tack för svar. Jag har Røde Wireless Go, men den inbygda microfonen fungerar dåligt. Vi har mycket vind i Norge, men den döda katten trillar altid ned i getskiten. Och ljuden försvinner altid när jag tittar åt höger eller venster. (vi bønder följer altid med i naturen, specielt är vi rädda för örnar) Jag funderar nu på en HS2 Lightweight Headset Microphone Eller om jag skal ta en Lavalier II och montera med headset. Begge kan kopplas til min Wireless Go. Vad tror du om Lavalier II som headset? Om den vill vara riktad mot min munn borde det ju bli mycket tyst på gettena?
@thomasfransson
2 жыл бұрын
Ofasen, jag har aldrig haft problem med att katten ramlar av iom den nya låsmekanismen på Wireless Go II. Vinden och andra ljud från miljön är alltid ett problem när man tar upp ljud. Det bästa är att undvika utsatta platser. Eller vara beredd på en viss mängd vind, get, trafik eller andra typer av störande eleme t. Att placera en lavalier under ett lager av kläder kan fungera mot vind. Ju närmare munnen mikrofonen kan placeras desto lägre volym kan användas vilket minimerar upptagning av annat. Den nära placeringen gör samtidigt mikrofonen mer känslig för riktning vilket du redan märkt. Ett headset kommer vara väldigt utsatt för vind. Den dead cat som följer med Lavalier II är långt från diskret. I synnerhet om den monteras på ett headset. Jag vet inte riktigt vad jag skulle rekommendera. Men tills vidare, försök hitta lä när du spelar in ljud och använd ngn typ av dead cat om du spelar in utomhus. Testa ett headset om du känner att du behöver den nivån av rörlighet. Tyvärr vågar jag inte rekommendera något headset utan skulle råda dig att ta kontakt med någon återförsäljare som förhoppningsvis kan rekommendera ett headset för utomhusbruk.

If we compare the specs it's an even pull. The Rode have a better frequency response as well being more sensitive and having a better signal to noise ratio. While the Sony ecm v1bmp is a bit more unlikely to clip if you’re screaming really loud. Giving it a bigger dynamic range. But unless you're really loud and scream a lot, this might not be a deciding factor.

They are both great options and will do a great job on most types of voices in my opinion. I've used the Rode far more than the ME-2 II so my opinion might be colored. One of the things I like with the RODE is the cable lenght - it's easier to deal with and hide if you're using a wireless system. One of the strenghts with the ME-2 is that it's easier to find spare parts like clips and wind guards if you need to replace these.
