REAL RATINGS
After testing each microphone, I like to know if it sounds realistic (accurate lows/bass, mids, highs/treble) in combination with the recorder and/or AUX. amplifier, to see if it needs EQ.
LOWS/BASS
?
DO THE "LOWS" SOUND REAL?
MIDS
?
DO THE "MIDS" SOUND REAL?
HIGHS/TREBLE
?
DO THE "HIGHS" SOUND REAL?
NOTES:
UPDATE:
Strange thing I discovered here. I tried turning the RECEIVER on, and then off, and then there was less RFI from the TRANSMITTER (so the recording sounded cleaner than before. This is strange, because when I just turn on the TRANSMITTER (without turning on the RECEIVER) it has that slight RFI throughout the recording, but it seems to go away after turning the RECEIVER on and back off. This is still not user-friendly, so I'm not going to add this back to my list of recommended mics for this (wireless system) recorder...but at least I know there is a workaround. The other issue is that this mic has a locking plug, so I also wouldn't really recommend it for that reason, but it might be useable in a "pinch".
WARNING: This combination does not work (too much RFI). The RFI is from the transmitter/recorder itself (whether or not the RECEIVER is on) so there's no hope for this mic/audio recorder combination. I also did the test with the receiver ON, and the RFI is even worse (and it's constant, no matter what the distance). I'm going to have to remove this mic from the list of mics I can use with this transmitter/recorder).
Keep in mind, these settings will not establish the exact level you'll need for every scene (where the audio level "bounces" around -12) but my goal is to provide a good starting point (that comes out clean, after boosting in post). It's also important to use these "recommended settings" for my microphone-specific EQ files to work properly (they won't work as intended if any of the "audio variables" are different). The EQ file was created to correct any sonic imperfections of the microphone or wind protection (foam, furry) and have been created with Audacity (the free audio editor) to make them as affordable as possible. Also, it's important to always monitor (accurate headphones) your audio while recording so you can hear any problems and make any changes needed to your audio.
