Hi guys,
I am currently taking on on an amateur project to capture video and audio in a loud bar / nightclub environment.
More specifically to capture conversations between 2 people in this noisy environment.
I will be filming with the Canon Powershot s100
And have been contemplating a Zoom H1 and rode lavalier mic for the audio capturing and am on somewhat of a budget. The audio quality doesn't need to be amazing, just as long as I can hear the conversation between 2 people with one mic.
Any suggestions or guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.
Having a large audio setup is not an option as it must be able to not be visible as to ensure a genuine reaction.
Thanks for any input guys, I appreciate it.
Adam
Anyone?
Lav mics are designed to pick up very close to the element and not pick
up much ambient noise. Kind of the reason you want to use a lav i suspect.
In order to get less ambient noise you need to get the mic very, very close
to the person speaking - making the other person to far away to pick them
up. One lav will not pick up both people unless you turn it up; and then
you will picking up the ambient noise too.
Since the audio quality isn't important to you in this case then you might
be able to get away with using one, really good omni-directional lav mic
but I know you can't afford that. Like the AKG CK77WR. It might work
under the restrictions you have mentioned. Look at the AKG C 1000 (or
similar) small diaphragm condenser mic. Not easy to hide, but it can be
done.
I apologize for the delay in responding. I look here as much as I can, but
I can't always get to a question as quickly as I would like.
