I rented out two lav mics from the sound tech resources. They recommended using two lav mics on a hanger for atmospheres. I struggled actually using the 418 mics with the zoom h5 to combine the mid side for recording. I didn’t manage to work out the mid side combination so I thought I’d try this lav combination.
I set up the lav combination with the Zoom f4 I had rented from last weekends work on Saturday. I tried recording in the house and thought it sounded great. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time recording to properly take them out to record atmospheres. I wanted to try using the Sound Devices 633 as when I turned up the gain on this Zoom F4 the preamps were so noisy. I needed something with a clearer sound. I spoke to Micheal again and did some research online and decided to try the Seinheiser 418 with a mid-side polar pattern in combination with the Sound Devices 633 recorder. Let’s see if it’s any better.
