I have a webcam on a boom already for web calls. I've tried adding a mic holder to it for a shotgun mic but couldn't find a good way to mount it. Do you have any suggestions? An SDC like you showed is fine instead of the shotgun obviously. Thanks!
The video shows the message "no post processing". BUT clearly, substantial, aggressive volume compression has been applied to the audio. This masks subtle variations between the high-end mics. (But even with that, the sE sounds nicer. I own a pair of sE8's myself.)
lavalier mics are wearable (as long as the whole system is wearable of course). My use-case isn't standard - I'm completely deaf with my right ear, so I'm putting together DIY CROS hearing aid - simply put a tiny mic on my right ear (or shoulder) transfers (thru Rode AI-Micro) the sounds that due to my own head shadow I hear weaker and muffled into my good left ear. Obviously the whole system should be as light as reasonably possible (ARP), should be as simple ARP and hopefully would last many hours ... apparently I'll have to keep my phone connected to the AI-Micro even if I'm only using the direct monitoring, since both mics and headphone are powered thru the 3.5 aux wires. My main challenge so far is the left headphone - since I only have 1 working ear I don't fancy the most popular option that's using in-ear buds. Yes the quality and env. isolation is much better, but in my case that's a negative (unless I want to use a IEM for example, but the idea is that it's plug'n'play so I can just plug different headphone if i need). I'm currently focused on these bone-conduction headphones, but the problem is that they are all wireless :/ (and open ear buds are also wireless). So for everyday headphone I'm investigating a way to either splice into something like openrun-pro2 so that I can provide signal by wire (to the left transducer at least), or alternatively I might build it myself from scratch using a bone-conduction transducer/exciter (and some 3d printing). Do you guys have any recommendations?
The point of the lav mic is the user doesn't have to pay attention to where the mic is. The fact the sE7 sounds better when the user is in the optimal position is great, but only if the person is trained to use it correctly. If they aren't CONSISTENTLY paying attention to the mic position, that is a recipe for a really mediocre recording. Now compare the lav mic recording to a recording from the airpods pro mic - lol.
Great comparison, Bandrew. Thanks so much!
Great and revealing comparison, thank you! Yet on a more humorous note, always be aware : God is watching from behind ;)
Cos11D and Countryman B6 are on another level.

I had the Shure MVL sent it back, the Rode Go sounded so much better, recording 32bit to iphone.
