Re: Buying microphones in pairs
My understanding of conventional wisdom is that omni lavs are generally best in controlled environments, but that there are odd cases where a cardioid lav can be useful, like in a noisy environment, say a trade show interview where for some reason a handheld mic is not appropriate. Other possible uses would be using the wireless lav as a plant mic to record specific environmental noises or walla, or micing instruments, Or I might use it when I place a wireless lav at a lectern that already has a PA mic.
But for me the question is now moot, as I just ordered another G3 with omn lav, because that happened to be what was in the best deal I could find. |

I've found that an omni lav almost always works better than a directional lav - with very few exceptions. |

Made In America I'll be interested to see how the new Countryman hypercardioid B2D lav will perform (B2D Directional Lavalier - Countryman Associates, Inc.). Here's a sample in a noisy environment: |

You get more drop-out with a directional due to head movement and the back of the mic. is normally pointing towards the body where it does not do much good at all. An omni, with no proximity effect, can be moved closer without problems - and an omni 10cm gfrom the mouth has the same characteristics as a cardioid at 17cm when it comes to feedback rejection. No contest - omni wins all the time. |
