Azden WMS-PRO Test


Are you disappointed with the quality of their cameras audio voice? Here are some suggestions to improve considerably the quality of people speaking in their video presentation. Watch two typical scenarios that may sound familiar.

Scenario # 1: thirty to forty feet of his kayak, his playmate the hook from what seams to be a monster bass and asked to record the action. The camcorder records his every move. He shouts and screams as he describes his excitement in detail.

When playing the video is found that, although the video is very good, his fellow sounds a million miles away and most of what is hear are waves beating against the hull of the boat and the noise of traffic on the nearby road. Another valuable time lost from low-quality audio.

Scenario # 2: video Maybe you've been pulling children and the family, but now wants to move from the ranks of consumers in the next step. Recently purchased an iMac and I would use iMovie09. What does it take for this to happen?

Most video cameras are equipped with a condenser microphone, that is designed to pick up every sound within a radius of 360 degrees from the camcorder. While this may be desirable in a baseball game outdoors, a work from school 5th grade, a conversation in a calm or a birthday party with a group of kids running around Chuck E. Cheese. But if you want high-quality voice in the middle of the action, I have two recommendations to the extent of promising kayak based filmmaker!

In my case, I wanted to make semi-quality video television, while fishing in a kayak. I also publish some movies to YouTube. After investigating several options, I found a shotgun mic, connected to your video camera captures the sounds mostly what ever it is pointed at. Shotgun microphones are designed to be very directional and done a good job of ignoring most of the other background noises. If you want to interview your child (and be able to clearly hear your voice) into a birthday party Chuck E. Cheese with millions of other kids running around noisily, a shotgun mic is the way to go. This is true for any noisy environment.

In fact, I always use a Rode VideoMic when recording and not try to use the condenser microphone. The sound quality is dramatically improved using the Rode. rel = "nofollow" href = "http://www.rodemic.com/microphone.php?product=VideoMic"> http://www.rodemic.com/microphone.php?product=VideoMic

The In addition to the second, more impressive for my growing collection of video art is the Azden WLX-PRO. VHF Wireless Lapel Mic System href = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAR45nMyTs4"> (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAR45nMyTs4). This little beauty lets you connect a microphone Lapel very small with a wire leading to a small receiver that clips to your belt. Another small receiver unit is connected to the camcorder and collects Lapel microphone sounds, instead of their video cameras and condenser microphone. The Azden WLX-PRO produces high quality audio and voice can be used at distances of 150-200 meters from the video camera! For my proposes, this is the best investment ($ 150 through Amazon) where I have done photographic equipment.

Without However, in order that these two elements working properly, you must hold a video camera that has a port to plug in either a shotgun or microphone Lapel wireless microphone. (you can use both mics at once). In my search for a new standard-resolution video camera, I found with which Canon offers input jacks for an external shotgun or wireless microphones and a headphone port so you can hear what is being recorded. I use a Canon FS11 with very good results and transfer video files easily from Apple iMovie09.

If you are looking for a better quality sound in your videos, take an Azden wireless microphone and the Rode shotgun mic. Both additions will cost about $ 150/each but well worth the expense.
