    We’ve all had the experience of leaving our microphone on because it doesn’t turn on with the camera and capturing no audio because you didn’t turn your microphone on. This is a great solution.

    Pro tip- get locktite or other thread locker to keep the tork bolt from falling out. (Also it’s a T9, the other T means Tork, which is that star pattern. So it’s A Tork T9 driver, not a TT9, which is probably a droid in Star Wars.)

    I was wondering if there were batteries involved and the second you said there was I was out. In my opinion there are other mics just as good if not better that don’t require batteries for the same price point. And at $200 might as well go another $50 (don’t eat out for a few days) and get a mic just as good that doesn’t require batteries. Being a musician I LOVE Sennheiser and use a lot of their instrument mics, but for camera audio I gotta stick with Røde. It does sound great though. If you like batteries go for it. I just don’t have time for that lol.

      I’ve had the MKE 400 since August 25th. I upload 9 videos a week across 3 channels. I’m still using the crappy AAA batteries that came with it. I’d much rather swap out a set of batteries every few months than charge one. I’ve done both and carrying a couple batteries just in case is far less of an inconvenience than a battery pack if your mic runs low. Other than that, non-powered mics will never sound as good as a powered mic.

They didn't have the size I needed. Out of frustration, I just tried some screwdrivers I had laying around. The flathead worked.

    That highpass filter is not a typical highpass. It kills everything below 200hz...once that's gone, you can't get it back. It's more for low-end rumble, etc, but if you're doing spoken word recordings, best to leave it on or you lose the character (and the chest area) of the vocal.

    • @davidschloss2656
      @davidschloss2656 3 роки тому

      Better to listen to the camera jack, because then you know you’re hearing exactly what the cameras recording because the headphone jack is from audio after the camera receives it, while a mic headphone jack records what the mic hears.

    • @robb.blumenreder
      @robb.blumenreder 3 роки тому +1

      The volume control is strictly for the headphone output volume, not what's being sent to the camera. This helps to ensure appropriate placement of the mic and your gain settings, which can be set to -20 / 0 / +20dB with the switch on the side of the mic. While this is really helpful to get the placement right, you still need to watch your audio input levels on the camera itself to ensure appropriate gain structure throughout your set-up. Not every camera has a headphone output jack (unfortunately), so it helps to dial in your settings and listen back for confirmation before rolling.

      Not in the same category at all. For vlogging though, MKE 400 is a clear winner. FYI, the Rode Videomicro is known for loosening itself. Small metal Allen head screw threaded into plastic will do that over time. Also had the cap on the end of the mic unthread. That one really sucks because you don’t notice it until you’re editing because it’s under the dead cat.

The sound quality and audio from your videos is a *CRUCIAL* element in retaining your audiences retention and, contrary to what everyone is saying, buying an external microphone really isn't that expensive.
