I will soon start a TV shoot where interviews take place in a car, with the participants in one car and the the technical crew placed in another car following just behind. My question is: Will a dipole antenna improve reception performance from my UCR 411?

What do you think of them? Even if Roland might not be the first company to produce a binaural microphone headphones, it is probably one of the most user friendly package that can be attached to the new Roland R26 or their previous ones (R 09...). Of course I imagine that they are very sensitive to wind noise, and not for every day shoot but low profile (I would not like to carry a dummy head all day long with me) + monitoring at the same may give interesting sonic options...

NO crackling noise when manipulating the gain when you have just powered on the mixer would be a great update. Also a quieter selector switch for working in very quiet environment.

WOAW....Thanks a lot to all of you guys for those wise advices. Lots of interesting microphones setup to choose from.

Hello everybody, My first post on the forum. I need some advice about recording some live ethnic drums for a documentary. Basically the shoot will happen during a dance festival in which multiple group of musicians will succeed one another during the day. Each group consists of several musicians 5 to 10 playing ethnic drums (frequency range of a low tom). the festival takes place in a natural environment with no stage and no FOH systems, the drums being so loud already they don't need to be amplified. Because ot the nature of the festival and equipment restrictions I cannot close mic every drums. So I was thinking of using two mic placed at 5-6 meters from the musicians (maybe sennheiser MKH 50) to get a stereo image (The musicians are lined up). But I am afraid that the whole thing is going to sound thin. I would like to complete that setup with another microphone that could capture the low frequency and the punch from those drums. Coming from a musical recording school training I know that that punch and low frequency reproduction can only be achieved by close miking especially on drums. Any suggestion on microphones or microphone techniques that could help me tackle that shoot? Thanks in advance.
