Philip Perkins Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Does anyone have a reco for a cheap lav-sized mic to use as an external slate mic with SD 664, via the TA3M connector on the left side? I had a crappy mic I was using for this that came with some obscure piece of gear a long time ago, and it broke, so I need something else. As you know, the slate mic input is balanced with 12vdc avail for mic powering. I have an Ant Lion headphone-mounted slate mic that works very well, but I like having the option of having the mic "in the board" so to speak, and the built in mic is wretched and deafens the boom op with my handling/switching noise. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaBanque Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hi Philip, a colleague of mine was suggested to try a Canford Stub Microphone GBP. Suitable for you? Oliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 That's a great looking solution for a situation where you have an XLR-F mounted in the top of a board (as in old analog consoles). I have one of those so I might get one of these for that purpose, thanks. But the 664 has a TA3M connector on the side of the mixer for slate mic, and is a bag-type rig so the Canford mic would be a little big and awkward. What I want is a mic that works as well as the Ant Lion deal but is just the lav-sized mic element with a short cable to the connector, a mic I could tuck into the bag in front of the mixer (far away from the activation switch).
