Lavalier Wireless
My sennheiser Lavalier Microphone has a lot of background noise. How can I reduce it and get better clarity?
I have a sennheiser Wireless Mic set hooked up to my Canon XH-A1 camera. I have been having problems finding the "sweet spot" in terms of voice clarity for interviews. What should I be looking for to get the best clarity with the smallest amount of background static and/or ambient noise?
I've found locating the mic as close as possible to the speaker's mouth is best. If it is too far away, you will pick up the background noise because you have to turn up the gain...
It is a lot more difficult outside or in a noisy environment - where a handheld dynamic mic (like a Shure SM-58) is better suited (the person speaking needs to get right on top of the mic - and most folks hold it too far away).
Watch the local news... in the studio, the lavaliers are clipped closer to where that divot is in the center of the user's breastbone - but the field reports don't normally use them because it is too noisy outside... when they do, they are clipped higher than where their studio counterparts clip them (not much ambient noise in the studio). I usually clip them about 4-5 inches below the bottom of the talent's throat. If you let the talent put them on, they typically clip them way too low (unless they've already been trained).
