Awesome, thank you.

Not quite - considering the qualifier "pretty much" was in the original post, yet omitted from the above quotation. So therefore given the aforementioned conditions in the previous hypothetical, the resulting audio quality for the film will be consistent between locked-down interviews recorded...

Good point. This pretty much definitively answers the question I've had since OP. Thanks, I do genuinely appreciate your participation here in the n00bie subform. The Sanken COS11 with 1/8" TRS connector has a 5.9 foot (1.8m) long cable. Are unbalanced cables longer than 18 inches & shorter...

Good to know; this is very helpful. Thanks. So, RF interference affects (long) unbalanced cables & not long balanced cables. Otherwise, all other factors being equal, there is no difference in sound quality between balanced & unbalanced cables? Is this because during a walk-and-talk interview...

Interesting; so does that mean that the length of the cables can affect the quality? Good points. Context is certainly important, especially when it comes to mics. Here goes... format is most always interviews for my own podcast & YouTube channel. Production locations are either indoors seated...

Thanks again Sweetie, I will update the thread with my experience if-when I decide this is the direction I'm going to go. More specifically, I would like to know if it the Countryman or OST will sound significantly better in the H1 than, say, the $20ish one I'm currently using with the H1. Also...

Cool, thanks for the response Sweetie. How would a Countryman EMW Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone for Digital Recorders with a 3.5 connector or a Oscar SoundTech Lavalier Microphone OST-802 with a 3.5 connector sound plugged into a Zoom H1? Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks...

Hiya indies, Is there any difference in sound quality between an XLR & 3.5mm lavalier microphone? Is there any difference in sound quality between unbalanced low voltage plug-in power lavs & balanced phantom power lavs? Which connector-to-recorder setup yields optimal quality audio? Thanks in...

Thank you for the great replies. I'll try to get my hands on the devices before I purchase & see what I like. It's good to know that glass is one of the most important things to be looking at. Thanks again :-)

Hi indies, I'm looking for a good b-roll video camera. My criteria are: 1. A fixed lens camera because I do not want to carry around a set of lenses for it. 2. It is very important that it does not have a 29 minute & 59 second recording duration limit because of the nature of events I often...

Just found 2 pieces of gear that could work for a compact, DSLR-mounted, mini-boom extension that would give a shotgun mic more proximity (adding a whole foot of proximity) to the talent, angle adjustability (to aim the mic at in the right spot as well as keep it out of the frame), all while...

After further research, I have discovered that the main distinction of the Countryman, DPA, Oscar SoundTech, Sanken, & Tram lavalier microphones is that they are all low profile, low visibility mics designed to be concealed for movie & TV show work. The Story Connective's work is more akin to...

That's all very helpful information gorilla; thank you very much. As I'm a bit wary of the DR-10SG due to lack of reviews, I was thinking about getting a tried-and-true quality shotgun mic & rigging up my own DIY noise-isolation arm on my DSLR to get the correct angle & closer to the talent...

So around the $200 range there are these lavs: Countryman EMW Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with Shelved Frequency Response for $185 This mic seems like the most affordable of the tried-and-true professional brands you listed. Not a whole lot of reviews. Would this mic likely be better...

Thanks AcousticAl, Currently using a Royal Voice Clip-on Omnidirectional Condenser 3.5mm lav plugged into a smartphone with recording app set at 44.1 kHz. Unfortunately, can't spend more than $200 on a lav at the moment, not until The Story Connective has more Patreon supporters.

Yeah, all 3 are a step up from what I'm currently using & they are within my budget. I hope to upgrade to "broadcast quality" gear once I have more Patreon supporters. Sincere thanks again Alcove for the awesome suggestions. Sounds like I'll once again be doing more research. :lol:

In your opinion, which lavalier mic would you choose & why? Audio-Technica AT803B - Mini Clip-On Condenser Mic Shure SM93 - Micro-Lavalier Omnidirectional Microphone Sony ECM-44B - Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone

Awesome. What about a polar pick-up pattern like this:

Thank you Alcove for the comprehensive reply. I thought I had already done a lot of research, but I had no idea about lobar either. That polar patterns diagram really expanded my understanding for what's going on. And yes, I still have lots of research to do before I purchase. Just to see if I...

Thanks for the welcome :-)
