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:
IMPORTANT NOTE: I'm using the Neoteck AUX. amplifier for this test (at the "BOOM" proximity) so if you're not using this to boost the audio, you'll have to raise the levels a lot more in post.
I'm debating whether or not I should do tests using this AUX. (headphone) amplifier, because my guess is there will be times when people don't notice it in these notes (and they'll try to use this microphone at this distance, without it...and that won't work as well).
*Note that you still cannot use this combination with the wireless RECEIVER turned on (there is way too much RFI when it's on) so basically you can't use this as a wireless device (with this mic).
Remember to always monitor your audio while you're recording (using accurate headphones) because good settings can't fix bad audio. Also, these settings will not establish the exact level you'll need for every scene, but the goal is to provide a good starting point that will become clean, after adjusting in post. Additionally, these "custom settings" are used to make the Microphone-Specific EQ files work (as they won't work as intended if any of they aren't used). The EQ files were created to correct any imperfections of the microphone and/or wind protection (FOAM and/or FURRY) and were made in Audacity (the free audio editor) to make them as affordable & universal as possible.
