Hi, I've checked the other wireless threads, didn't see this covered, and since I'm looking for a experience with a specific aspect, decided to make a thread for just that aspect for quick reference.
ordering some wireless mics (Shure SLX with a couple extra Countryman B3s - to mic actors in advance and switch bodypacks as needed...)
Will be micing various methods - over hairline (halo), ear, and taped on.
and am wondering if cardioid lav mics are better way to go, to avoid phase cancellation when multiple actors are close together
PRO: less phase cancellation?
CON:
1) - mics look a little bigger, a factor for hiding mics
2) - if mic gets rotated, you're hosed.
or use omnis:
PRO: 1) Don't have to worry about orientation
CON: 1) phase cancellation when actors are close.
so I'm guessing omni, but would appreciate any experience with unidirectional (cariod, supercardiod) lavs.
WL93 (SLX14/93)
Miniature condenser lavalier mic for speech applications.
Omnidirectional
WL184 (SLX14/84)
Premium condenser lavalier mic for speech applications.
Supercardioid
WL185 (SLX14/85)
Premium condenser lavalier mic for speech applications.
Cardioid
How are the WL93s? I wonder if I can/should order the SLX1 bodypacks without a mic, and just order B3s? Or if they are decent mics, it's probably economically feasible to get the package and order a few extra B3s.
From what I see so far, the WL93s come stock in black? (invisibility issues)
thx
