hello,
i crushed my old shure mic i use to use for recording sounds outdoor's now i been looking at some zoom uni directionl condender mic
probs is most seem to be mono camcorder mic's with zoom fuction controled from camcorder.
anyone know a good mic for recording outdoor's?
hand controled zoom function would be great to get them birdies singing in tree tops, old shure mic came with a tube + shield for that long distance recording.
cheers |

what you need is a shotgun mic. shotgun mics use hypercardioid polar patterns and have incredible range and pointing accuracy.
I know sennheiser makes really nice ones... other than that...you got homework set out for yourself ;) :D |

thanks sgtfoo
more and more im reading in to wildlife sound recording the more gutted im getting about my old shure mic " ok its was old manual method of zooming in but i got to know a few trick in long distant and isolateing sound's, i tryed looking for the same mic but i guess they was discontinued in the early 90s :(
time for change,
i seen a few akg shotgun mic's that seem to be strictly audio recording but anything that has a good range seems well expencive excess of £250, i seen a few make's that im pretty unsure on components used on the mic £80 <-- might sound like a telephone mic.
and most seem to make cheapo camera/corder len's and stuff, thats what's keeping me shy in buying..
if anyone out there goes out on recording trip's and has a good mic let me know what make or model so i can look in to it,
tryed and tested is the best method i think.
thanks |
