With a complement of microphones and an audio mixer, as well as a professional grade boom microphone, I generally get good audio. Still, a level adjustment is often needed in post when speakers turn away from microphones, and to match levels between speakers. I have developed efficient techniques to compensate in post, and have added a hardware compressor/limiter to my audio gear to further reduce the need for such post production work.

This mixer gives me 6 very low noise microphone inputs with equalization and extra headroom. With the addition of a direct box, I can use the sub-mix or control room output to feed a house PA system through any available mic jack all the while maintaining proper levels to my camera's XLR input, record deck, or digital hard disk capture. |

The ME 66 is a short gun microphone capsule designed for use with the K6 and K6P powering modules. It is especially suitable for reporting, film, and broadcast location applications and for picking up quiet signals in noisy or acoustically live environments as it discriminates against sound not emanating from the main pick-up direction. I use this microphone shock mounted on camera or on a boom. | ![]() |
The PolarChoice family allows you to choose the pattern which works best in the enviorment where it is to be used just by turning a screw switch you can choose between Omni, Cardioid, Supercardioid and Hypercardioid patterns.
