One of the reasons why Youtube videos have been very successful online is because they've
had some amazing quality video and audio. Now, audios can be something that can make
or break your video. If you don't have good quality audio, you can get really, really
- sounding absolutely crap. I'm sure that you can hear right now.
Now, if you've got really quality audio, you've got to be able to capture some amazing audio
and footage for your cameras and also for your audience and it will retain your customers
and also retain your viewers from watching as well. So I'm going to review inside this
video 2 solutions on how to have wired or wireless solutions for microphones so let's
take a look right now.
The first one is a wired solution. Ha, I don't want to do what to do with this, this is just
crazy but as you can see this is the problem with wires, it gets tangled. It just doesn't
seem to stay but it's just the cheapest solution nowadays. I can pick this up from around about
$20, $30 from a local store and it does the job. So what you do is simply just make sure
you have the female in which - I don't know, I think this is a male-in sorry. Nothing too
- yes - nothing too explicit for you guys.
So I'll plug that straight into the mic here, this is the mic jack and then I'll switch
it on and I'll plug this into my - or clip it onto my jacket there and we're going to
do a little sound test as well just to show you what it looks like. It looks like the
most - most distorted thing that I've seen for a while and people are going to look at
me and just go what is he doing. Anyway I'm going to try to be as screed as possible.
And if you see this thing hanging out of me, you know that's what happens but no one will
see this. All right so let's go for a little test run and let's test it out with this on
my wired mic.
So I'm going to actually do a bit of filming while I'm walking and this is what it's like
to actually have a good quality mic. If you have someone standing in front of the camera
or if you're walking with the camera with a mic, I'm sure that you'll get a lot clearer
because the sound will sound a lot better. The beautiful thing of having a condenser
mic is one, you get a lot better quality sound therefore it doesn't sound like you're in
a bucket area which you first heard in my introduction and secondly with the wired,
you basically have it literally wired up to you. So that's what we're looking at right
now.
The second solution, second solution is the wireless solution. No more wires as you can
see, I'm literally walking around even spinning around for you just to show you what it looks
like and it's the Sennheiser. Hello there - that's the Sennheiser EW100G3. It's amazing
high quality sound. Now what I'm going to do is actually show you how it looks like.
It's just basically the lapel mic that you see over here, you can see that right there
and then it's just the simple wire that goes onto my battery clip there. Now if I actually
turn on my camera, I can actually show you what it looks like on the other end. This
is where Justin is actually filming. Okay so this is the Sennheiser streamed out, hello
Justin.
And this is what we've been using to actually record and capture that really good audio
and quality sound. The Sennheiser itself is an amazing wireless device. But - there's
a huge but here, is the cost. It's almost about 2,000 times more than the wired solution.
Now if you have an extra $600 to $700 to spend, yeah you know it's great. It's a great piece
of equipment to use and it also does the job very, very well. But you know, if you can't
afford that then obviously the wired solution - you know if you want to go to this kind
of tangly wired solution it definitely does the job. So have to consider and have to think
about which one would suit your case but in our situation, it allows us to be able to
move around freely, run even in a store and catch us from many, many distances. And the
great thing with the Sennheiser as well is that I can literally be down at the end of
the road and you'll still be able to capture my sound. So do you want me to do it? Let's
do it.
So I'm still running and it's pouring down and it's raining and it's like crazy. Yeah,
this is crazy and it's wet. I'm getting my suit wet, I'm getting everything wet.
External microphones have its pros and cons. The Audio Technica condenser microphone requires
you to stand close to the camera in order for it to work because of its wire. That's
okay if you're inside the studio or own limited budget. Though, as you've seen it's a bit
of a mess if you weren't careful.
On the other hand, we regularly use the Sennheiser wireless microphone that allows you to move
around freely and capture high quality sound especially when you're outdoors or need to
move around without having a wire hanging out on your back side. Though as always, when
you purchase sound equipment, what you pay for is what you get and this is true for these
devices.
