Microphones for GL2
Hi all,
I'm looking for an affordable microphone with XLR connector. I have to be honest, i'm a deaf man so i'm having a hard time looking for one. Any suggestions? |

Get the audiotechnica 897 for $279 @ b&h w/kit. Or sennheiser me66 w/k6 for about $410 from them.

Also, what are you generally trying to record? And do you already have an XLR adapter?

Yes, i already have an xlr adapter for my gl2. Would you recommend me 88 for that situation? I'm aiming for 3d sounds. |

it really depends on your budget. i think the audio technica at-4073 is the best all-around short shotgun for the money. it costs $550- at b&h. but i don't know if that's "affordable" to you. a lot of pro sound guys won't wipe their butts with any mic that costs less than $1000. if the 4073 is out of your range, the at 897 and the rode ntg-1 seem to be the preferred models in the $2-300 range.
typically i say you should listen to a couple and see what you like, but that probably doesn't work in this case. are you working with a soundman? also, you say you want it to sound "3D." typically, this type of sound-space manipulation doesn't happen during recording, but afterwards in the sound mixing stage. best of luck. -nate |

Is there any chance that I can rent the microphone kit? Like Id rather buy just a microphone. Not the boom pole and all that. |

I don't see a reason why you couldn't, but that's up to the person in charge on renting out equipment.
Iam about to do the same kind of work & I have been looking at the Azden Shotgun mike through B&H. Also, instead of a boom pole you can rig a painter pole to hold a shock mount for about 15 Euros. |

Shotgun mics on booms are not as good for interiors as hypercardioids. In your case, the AT 4053.
