Hello, Vitaly. Did you received the microphone?

I'm curious about your review. I found this micro in Dealextreme a few days ago and, well, I'm thinking to buy one.

Some initial opinion.

Good things.

• This thing looks like next gen budget solution. Due to high contrast oled screens and
• Very easy to setup. You leave reciever at autoscan, and set channel at transmitter. It locks almost instantly.
• Has build in mikes both or transmitter and reciever. Two mikes on transmitter and one on reciever.
• Mike on reciever is facing you. So, ideally you can make interview using only this thing.
• Mike on reciever can be mixed with remote signal.
• Looks like it is really digital (I mean transmission), as I see no noise induced by transmussion.
• Big advantage that it is stereo transmitter.

All below is preliminary due to 5 minute test using one mike (and build in mikes) and two headphones only. I used Panasonic stereo electret mike.

Problems:

• Do not like battery covers, as they are very hard to get off by hand and placed weirdly.
• To hear mike sound in headphones clearly you need to push mic boost to high and volume almost to max.
  It requires more experiments and I'll make recording to external source to check levels.
• Such pushing result in noise. Not good. Looks like almost perfect white noise. It looks like noise source are mic preamps.

So, for now I am not recommending getting it.

I've been using the internal mics recently on an interview (there was no wifi there at all), i'll post it as soon as it gets edited.

It could be interesting.
How is the level? As I don't hear much in the headphones in Mid, and later it is noisy.

But they are extremely (!!) hard to get off, in fact, i think it's impossible!.

I think that you need to glue some small thing (like bump) to them, so you'll have thing to hold, after this it'll be easy.

just up the Mic_vol on the receiver?

Yep.

Is it on both channels then, or one only?

As I remember, on both.

No comments since May 22nd. What's up Vitaliy?

Hi Vitaliy. Thanks for the reply. It was a loud cry but not intended to be obnoxious, I hope. I was planning to purchase one of those Rowa systems for my T2i but couldn't find a single review out there, so you seem to be my only hope. I notice now that you aren't recommending it but I was anticipating more experimentation with recording as you mentioned this past spring.

They are available elsewhere at higher prices including from Gadgetinfinity in Hong Kong on Ebay. It's too bad that more sellers including Dealextreme don't work out a more comprehensive review system where buyers could write in about their personal experience with specific products such as Newegg and Amazon do now. A Dealextreme representative told me they expect more of the Rowa systems within the next week or so. No way to know whether or not the price will be as low as originally, though.

@archp2008

Yes, of course.

It is just good to understand who is owner of this site.

@archp2008

No, under site owner I mean that dxebay.com look suspicious :-)

Its easy to misunderstand when we are not talking to people face to face and when some of us share different languages. I would have been very hesitant to order from that "DX" Ebay site. My guess is it's probably some kind of hacked site or scam.

With super cheap and small wifi chips, wouldn't it be easy for someone to make a wifi based wireless mic? And you could choose to record on an Ipad, Iphone, Notebook or a wifi enabled Zoom?

I'm wondering if fabioc concurs with Vitaliy that these units may not be worth getting.

As for me I decided on ordering a Zoom H1 recorder and a $20 lav to connect to it. I came to the conclusion that the quality of the audio was more important and I wanted to avoid the limitations of the built-in recorder of my T2i. If I had had $1000 plus to invest, a top quality wireless unit would have definitely been considered. I doubt if anyone who reads this thread now will order this particular unit.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev could you maybe tell me which ones you use as both my DPA and the newly bought Sennheiser ME4 are electred mics and both don't work...
