How to mic a pistol competition at DVinfo.net

Delfino L. Tiongco · July 2nd, 2006, 04:10 PM

I am planning to shoot a pistol competition and my concern is how to control the obvious loud sounds I will be recording. I will be at a disadvantage since instead of using a hearing protector, I will be using my 7506 for recording!

I will be using my PSC Promix 3, Oktava MC012, and EW100G for the project.

My plan is to use my mixer all the time so I can ride the multiple gunshots that will be around me when I shoot (pun intended).

Any suggestion is appreciated.

You're not the first. Start wiith a search here on "gunshots." Among other things you'll find the idea of using speakers as microphones.
