Info

ECM-44B ($255list) is a good compromise of sounding good with voice but less bothered by wind and can be farther from the sound source. For mixing with popular boom mikes: Sennheiser MKE-2 ($240) A/T MT830 Sony ECM-77B Other highly recommended lavaliers include: Sony ECM-77B ($465 list) AT MT830R ($155) Sennheiser K2 lav Shure WL50 lav Radio, or wireless, transmitter/receivers are used, usually in combinations with lavaliers, when it is not possible to run a wire from the actors to the sound recording device. This can happen when the actors are walking and talking at the same time and a boom can't be used. Radio transmitters are very sensitive to electrical interference and dropouts and are the last choice for picking up sound. Lectrosonic wireless systems are generally considered to be among the best but most of the top microphone manufacturers make high quality wireless transmitters/receivers. Often a matching lavalier microphone is bundled with the wireless transmitter to make a complete solution. Audio Mixers Audio mixers balance and control the signal strength of the microphones as the sound is passed on to the recording device. Some recording devices have some ability to control the sound volume built in but it is always better to have a separate mixer that a dedicated sound technician can use. Good mixers include: Samson Mixpad 4, about $200, battery operated Mackie 1202VLZ PRO 12 Channel Mixer with 4 Mic Inputs, about $300, requires A/C Shure FP-33 Stereo Mixer, about $1,300, battery operated <strong><strong>Film</strong>making</strong> Lights Companies manufacturing lighting equipment of interest to filmmakers include: Arri Lowel Mole-Richardson Smith-Victor Also see the Production page on Lighting for the various techniques involved in film lighting.
