My videos, whether for training or for my blog / youtube, have been getting better. I am using multiple cameras and 4k and so on, but one aspect that has always let me down is the audio.So, having been nagged a few times, I have a lapel mic (or Lavalier mic), and a radio set...
Well, I am impressed with the quality!
Purchased from Gear4Music.
I was, however, a tad concerned that the paperwork says a "licence" is required in the UK. Well, the OFCOM web site is a tad confusing. There is a section on PMSE licensing for radio mics.
Reading more, it looks like I am OK. The radio set says 823-865MHz, and it is initially set to 863.100MHz. Well, OFCOM say "The UHF licence exempt range is 863.100-864.900 MHz.", and the power "is limited to 10mw for handhelds and 50mw for body worn transmitters both internally and externally". (Surely Watt is "W" not "w"). So, phew...
The transmitter clips on my belt, no problem, and the mic plugs in to it...
The receiver comes with 3.5mm and XLR connector cables, so connects to my audio recorder directly.
So, simple, easy to use, works well, and sounds great... This is a test video with the new mic, and three old microphones for comparison...
