    Quite a comprehensive and well-laid out test! Wanted to know if there's an issue with recording vocals when an instrument is playing alongside. I feel the mic distorts the sound of vocals if guitar is playin alongside.

      a 3 meter TRS male to TRS male 3.5mm cable
      make sure to get a good one since lots of random companies make 3.5mm cables that have bad wiring and you'll hear buzzing on your recording if ever

      will need an adapter. boom mic arm thread is bigger than the mic mount (which is a standard tripod bolt). in my case, i bought a 5/8" 27 female to 1/4" 20 male adapter, threaded it to an adapter that came with the boom arm, then the mic on the other end. hope that helps!

    Does it have enough gain for a pc mic input?

    • @earlmalaki
      @earlmalaki  2 роки тому

      gain-wise, yep! if you're buying mainly for pc use, you might be better off with a short-range mic. shotgun mics like the mm1 have a long-range pickup pattern and thus will pick up sound from a distance (e.g. noise behind your back, room noise, dogs barking, etc).

      I use the built-in audio tools in Premiere. A little bit of noise and reverb reduction, de-esser, EQ, then increase the gain to around -6db.

  • @Leotardoification
    @Leotardoification 2 роки тому

    I just bought this and is having issues on my Sony A7III. Even at the lowest level setting (one step above mute) the input level is way too high and will easily peak.
    Also the shock mount does absolutely nothing to absorb any noise from lens AF or hands touching the camera. It's just a stiff piece of plastic.
