In that video I plugged directly to my 7D, can you actually set the audio setting there? I dont have an online video of the ME-15 connected to DS-30, but I think all these times I've been setting it to auto. I need to polish my audio skill I guess.

ah yes... 7d doesn't have manual audio yet. i guess that video of yours doesn't justify the mic's full potential. I think I'll take the plunge... its quiet cheap anyways. 49 bucks in online store

I have seen that one. however, again, its not a professional review. The guy might just set the olympus recorder on auto setting. his voice sound noisy on that clip, which i think is the result of auto level. thanks anyway :)

Hope you like it mate. I personally think it is better than the giant squid lav though. Let us know how you go!

Santo - I bought a couple of GS omnis with the iriver ifp mono mod about 6 months ago and have nothing but praise for them. I've been using one on the officiant and the other on lecturns etc. for readings.
I'm sure you've noticed that they're not up to sennheinser mic build quality but for the price I've found the results pretty darn good. My only complaint would be the difficulty in finding a suitably sized windscreen. If I can find the time I'll post a couple of recent samples. Cheers, MB. |

I got two Windtech 1100s (white and tan) from B&H, along with 3 Pearstones (black) because they were out of the black 1100s.The guy at the phone order desk said the Pearstones were the same quality etc. The Windtechs are nice, the Pearstones, GARBAGE !!!! So, I guess I have some personal experience now of the value of suggestions from B&H for product selection.

a sample
Thanks for the suggestion Chip - now to find an aussie stockist :)
Santo - i've uploaded a brief mp3 file from a recent wedding: www.mattbarwickfilms.com/audio/gs_mic.mp3 this is using the gs mono mic into an iriver recorder. outdoor ceremony and without any sort of windscreen on the mic. i haven't touched the levels either. it certainly has a slight 'tinny' quality to it but nothing a little eq tweaking couldn't improve and it's far from unusable IMO.

Susanto, Chip,
Hope the clip helped. Chip, yeah, the GS does seem to a "throatiness" (low freq boost) to it, which is not in and of itself good or bad, but something to take into consideration when planning your shoot. As I said, I have been using the GS for a couple of months now and am so far very satisfied with the results. More importantly, my clients have been satisfied, and even comment/compliment how loud & clear the sound is during the vows. Hard to beat for a ~$30 investment! |

Santo,
check the settings of your Olympus - maybe they need to be adjusted for the mic also. We also use the GS with the Iriver and have different settings for groom & priests. Priests/celebrants generally speak louder or I need to clip it higher so it records at a lower volume than for the groom. |

I have two GS mics that I use with my iRivers all the time. Couldn't be happier with them, and with the customer service I've received. Great product.
