Microphones and Audio Hardware
Choosing the right mic for a particular situation can be daunting - there are just so many types out there! And what about headphones, mixers, field recorders and the best way to set up for audio.
You've come to the right place.
The HD 490 headphones are a game-changer,” Dubowsky remarks. “They let me work on detailed mixes anywhere, from hotel rooms to cafés, without sacrificing quality.”
I just got an email from RØDE letting me know of the "third generation of the world's most popular wireless microphone".
It all comes down to one of four things which might sway you to purchase either of the three – price, range, feature set / flexibility and of course audio quality.
The first thing that needs to be said is the price. At AUD$199, the RØDE Wireless Microphone is exceptional value for money.
This unit allows up to 9 input devices to be connected with 4 combo XLR / ¼” TRS ports, 2 wireless receivers for RØDE wireless mics, Bluetooth connectivity and twin USB-C ports.
The Wireless Micro is a pocket-sized wireless microphone system tailor-made for smartphone creators.
Quality features are packed into DJI Mic Mini to help content creators make the richest, most detailed sound possible, keeping in mind post-production needs as well.
I know there has been a lot of audio technology advances over the last few years but when comparing the XSW-D to the Profile Wireless, not just in audio quality but also in flexibility, setup and ease of use, well … the Sennheiser engineers have excelled themselves.
With every release of a new GoPro, the questions come thick and fast about “best settings for …” as new users join the GoPro “club”. (Actually the same can be said for DJI Action cameras and others of the same ilk).
In essence, this allows up to 4 individial applications running on your PC (only at present, Mac is due soon apparently) to be assigned to their own fader on the console.
If so, this market is pretty much dominated by another Aussie company, Blackmagic Design, so could make for an interesting local and international stoush.
The RØDECaster Video is a revolutionary all-in-one production studio that combines video switching with a professional audio interface and intuitive hands-on control.
RØDE has announced a groundbreaking production console that seamlessly combines state-of-the- art video switching, production and recording capabilities with a complete professional audio studio.
Over the past few months, I have put together a bunch of information and tutorials aimed specifically at GoPro users - especially those just starting out.
My problem was always finding a way to get the audio from the RØDECaster Duo into the Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Pro. Ideally I wanted to be able to choose between the Sennheiser XSW-D or the Sennheiser MK4 at will, and also have access to audio “stings” etc via the trigger pads, plus mix in audio from the PC as needed and then feed this mixed signal into the Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Pro.
An added bonus of the pairing of the RØDECaster Duo and the Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Pro is getting access to all the processing built into the Duo in addition to the Fairlight tools available in the ATEM Software.
RØDE has announced this is now available - but with a small caveat compared to the Windows version it seems.
So, in summary, for your $1299 (shop that around is my suggestion), you get the lavaliere transmitter, the base station and a combination handheld XLR / 3.5mm mic transmitter that can also act as a portable recorder.
On a Saturday evening or at the Sunday afternoon pub sessions, at least one hostelry in towns like Derby, Broome or Port Hedland had a band playing that was predominately aboriginal players.
The spanking new Profile Wireless, a two-channel, 2.4 GHz wireless microphone system that connects to mobile phones, cameras or computers, and can be used as a clip-on mic, handheld mic or table-top microphone.
Already though, some have criticized the price point, stating at AUD$1799 it is too expensive compared to the obvious competitor, the ATEM range from Blackmagic Design
