21Apr Tascam DR-60D Audio testing with samples
Here are the audio tests you’ve been asking for of the Tascam DR-60D. This first sample is taken directly from the 5d mark III which is fed from the camera out port on the left hand side of the Tascam DR-60D. The output volume control on that port is set to 10. In this case the DR-60D is […]
19Apr Zoom h6 Field recorder with interchangable microphones
Special thanks to Yiannis for point this one out. If you’re in Greece and need a photographer you should check out his work. Apparently Zoom doesn’t want to be outdone by Tascam’s DR-60D so they’ve announced this monster. The Zoom h6 is capable of recording 6 audio tracks simultaneously, 4 tracks can be recorded from the […]
19Apr Atomos Ninja could be a 4 track audio recording solution
One thing I hadn’t realized until I started researching the specs is that the Atomos Ninja 2 allows you to record 4 tracks of audio into the video stream. Two tracks are recorded through the HDMI input from the camera and the other two come from a Stereo 3.5mm jack on the side of the […]
15Apr DIY Stereo transmitter concept
I know a lot of the people that read this site are pretty sharp. I only have so much time on my hands to try and develop cool and useful ideas. When I come across something that I don’t have time to design or develop I try to post it so that someone out there […]
14Apr Wi Audiolink wireless Rode Videomic pro test
More Wi Audiolink examples for those of you who wanted some more audio tests. In these case the transmitter was only about 6 feet away from the camera. It seems the best audio path when using the Wi Audiolink is to feed the microphone into the preamp then feed the camera output of the juicedlink […]
13Apr Tascam DR-60D close up and personal
I had the chance to unbox the Tascam DR-60D this morning. The box contains the DR-60D, a manual, and a USB cable, nothing else. No memory card, no neck strap, and no 3.5mm cables are included. Tascam has stripped the unit down to the bare escentuals. I haven’t had a chance to do many audio tests […]
13Apr MXL FR-500WK Portable UHF Wireless Audio System
MXL (owned my Marshall) has been releasing relatively decent low price condenser microphones for the last 7 or 8 years. Their product line has mostly been known for it’s low price and acceptable sound quality. MXL’s condensers are often the units I choose for overhead drum mics, because they’re only a 100 or so dollars […]
13Apr Beachtek MCC-2 audio adapter
I wandered by the Beachtek booth at NAB and had a chance to see the new Beachtek offerings. Meet the ultra compact MCC-2 which is basically a passive two channel mixer for $89. The MCC-2 is designed with 3 cold shoe adapters around the outside of the unit, giving you plenty of mounting options for a wireless mic […]
12Apr Tascam DR-60D first impressions
I spent almost an hour hanging around the Tascam booth playing with the new Tascam DR-60D. Buttons and controls felt good and the interface seems pretty straight forward. If you’ve used other tascam devices in the past you shouldn’t have any problem finding your way around the DR-60D’s menu system. The test microphone provided at the booth sounded good […]
10Apr Que Audio Sniper Pro Shotgun Booming Kit
It seems like the design trend is to make things smaller and the Que Audio Sniper is no exception. This tiny little kit includes a boom mic with camera mountable shock mount, boom pole, wind screen, and mic stand for $499. The microphone uses two little button batteries (watch batteries) to provide up to 20db […]
