Hey Ben! Bought this mic, based largely in part to your ecstatic review. 😊 One thing I've always had a challenge with , and I've done a lot of ceremonies, is where to place the Lav Mic for best sound. There are a lot of videos for how to record audio with a Lav...but I struggle to find any with tips for our application (mic'ing an officiant/groom through a PA). Would LOVE to see a follow up to this, demo'ing that. Maybe have an assistant that you place the mic on and demo how it sounds with different placement (collar vs. lapel vs. tie, etc.). 😊 I run into the issue where I get very low vocal volume, slowly turn up with not much response...them RIGHT to feedback. 🤔
sound quality is more caused by the connected microphone then by the send/receive system. I use the shure slx system becasue of my budget but I think sennheiser transceiver systems are superior. Headset microphone I would recommend dpa
Nice! I've used Sennheiser wireless systems for decades, mostly on ENG/EFP video shoots. Obviously, this fixes most of the big headaches I encountered over 30 years, so I'm looking for a paper bag to calm me down, too. Thanks for the sweet review, Ben. BTW, do you think Sennheiser has any interest in producing a portable receiver with some of these same features? (On remote shoots I can't use a rackmount receiver). Thx!
Just found this video while researching, better late than never ...to my knowledge the Q1-6 covers the 470.2-526 MHz band, the R1-6 covers the 520-576 MHz band, and the R4-9 covers the 552-607.8 MHz band. Note that each band is 56MHz wide.
@@NLFXpro I plug directly into my evolve 30m speakers as they have built in mixer. Wondering if I’d be better off still plugging into my Mackie external mixer?
Please note that lav mics cannot be used for PA. Another downside of lav microphones compared to headsets is that the mic position changes constantly as the subject moves his/her head all the time.
@@deejay0076 There never is a black or white answer. It is always a grey thing. Of course it can be done. But why on earth would you get yourself in potential trouble when there are alternative which work way better? Let me rephrase it for the purists: It is not the preferred method and I have never seen it used in my 25 years of sound experience other then in tv studios with selected small audience sitting away from the sound stage and only very low pa volumes and only longer ago as today the headsets or directional microphones on tables are mainly used. Why would that be? So my questions back yo you is: In what situation would a lavaliere in combination with PA be preferred?
@@computerjantje sometimes it is bot a preference of the sound engineer/tech/DJ, but a firm request from an engaged party for their wedding vows (no matter how much you recommend otherwise). Though, I’ve been getting firmer and firmer in my recommendations against lavaliers for weddings - and more and more parties are taking the advice, thankfully.
