EDIT: Father's Day special for personal-viewers! Price drop to $125 with free shipping.

I'm selling 2 Audio Technica Lavalier Microphones. These are the AT899 and includes the AT8537 Power Module. These are omni mics and produce really nice sounding dialogue/speech. They are in mint condition. They come configured in XLR. I will throw in connector cables for XLR to 1/8" as well as XLR to 1/4" TRS for free, so you're covered whether using XLR, 1/4" or 1/8" port.

Thank you.

Recommendation on sound recording system

Brian_Siano — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:29:00 +0000

I do some work with a theater company, and one of our longstanding problems is that the theater itself has terrible acoustics. I use a Rode Videomic for shooting, and that's nice, but the quality's not perfect.

So we're looking into other strategies. I like the idea of getting lapel mikes, having the actors wear smartphones or recorders, and syncing the tracks up in post. Good aspects; cheap, simple, easily expandable to any number of performers.

Someone suggested that we get a system where the mikes send wireless signals to a central recorder. I'm not keen on this, because it may be expensive, it may be difficult to balance the sounds afterward, and the number of mikes may be limited. But I don't know, so I agreed to ask around for such a system.

We're shooting with DSLRs (mostly GH2's), so that may be a factor here.

Any suggestions?

Cheap lapel, lavalier mike

I had a couple of these $22 lapel mics that B&H sells lying around so I tried them on the GH3 with the mic volume set midway. They sounded very accurate with low noise. I am asking some of the more experienced audio people what I should worry aboout or why I should not consider using them for interviews.

Thanks
