OSP HS 09?

[jamesmiller]

Does anyone have experience with the OSP ear-set microphone? It seems like a good deal at $150... But then again, its $150 .

I could not find any previous threads on it, so I thought I'd ask.

Thanks!

James, see my post here: inexpensive-earset-microphones-fyi . These are 115 ea. and the company will overnight them, cheaper if you use the single earset. They also make an assortment of Lav's.

Here is a link to another thread of this topic.

What was your experience with these microphones? Do they have good sound quality for use in musicals?

$99 - $112 seems kind of cheap to me, which sorta scares me.

PS) I just found that we can't use the OSP models, they don't have a connector for Lectrosonic.

These guys will put what ever end you need. I had them put on Audio-Technica 4 pin hi rose. I just checked their website, I saw several models of lectorsonics in the drop down list. If your particular model is not listed. Email them, they typically respond within a business day.

I used them for "Babes in Arms" on all my leads - the mic's worked great, my AT packs though, are showing their age.

Normally, when the actor is speaking, I turn the mic way down or out. When the dsong starts I pot up the volume of the singer so they can be heard over the (unmic'd) orchestra - I work with kids, mommy and daddy wants to hear their little girl - of course, I am one of those parents too.


Inexpensive does not always mean cheap.
