Matt McGowin Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Most people like Rachel and me do not need to use the newest lectro wireless. I Have never had any client request for any type of mic at all, EVER. Much less a wireless handheld WITHOUT a plug-on Transmitter. A handheld mic and Lectro plug-on tx is much more useful to me. Senator, can you give your opinion more on the difference of the re50 and the beyer58? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 MY OPINION: I would hesitate to pound nails with the Beyer! In a hurricane, I'd need a foam windscreen with the Beyer. The Beyer being a bit longer might be better for interviewer holding the mic out from just off camera toward the OC interviewee... In my cans, the Beyer sounds a bit brighter, but not noticeable on the edited piece.. BTW, the RE50/n-dym also sounds a bit brighter, and is a bit hotter than the standard RE-50. If you want to look "the same", the RE-50 is the same, the Beyer looks "different". Both are EXCELLENT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt McGowin Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I agree the re-50 is very durable. Beyer maybe not so much. My friend uses the n-dym alot for public radio interviews. He loves it. If I got a re50, I would prob go for the regular version though. Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I have found that if you connect a regular "old-school" dynamic mike to the UH or HM Lectro plug-ons, you have to crank up the input gain quite a bit (like all the way). With the NeoDym mikes, you have quite a bit more output. But the old RE50s are widely available cheap. I bought a couple for next to dirt on eBay, sent them to EV for refurbishing, and they came back looking brand-spanking new. For all I know, they swapped them out for new ones. Sound great -- albeit low, as you would expect from a conventional dynamic. But it is the classic handheld news interview mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the regular re50 with my hm and it left me wanting more gain, so I ordered a ndym version. Wandering Ear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandering Ear Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 " Why would you go for the regular version? " maybe I wouldn't, but it is still the best seller... I asked Matt becauae he stated that he wanted that, and I was curious for his reason. Being a best seller is irrelevant to my query. And I agree, choice is good.

Boomboom Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 How's the handling noise insulation between the Shure SM-63 and the Sennheiser MD-42/46 ? Anybody had the chance to compare ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I've had a 635 since the dawn of time, and it has its uses, but most of the use I've had for a handheld as been for "man on the street" interviews (sometimes with the mic going thru a live PA as well) in noisy situations where a directional mic can help a lot. Mics made for handheld PA use (by singers etc) have pretty low handling noise anymore, and I had much better luck with SM58, Beta 58, EV 767 etc for this. I generally tell the "reporter" to keep the mic on the talent--I usually have them on a wireless lav. VERY few "presenter" or "reporter" talent actually know how to work a handheld mic back and forth between themselves and a "guest" anymore, let alone multiple guests, so I prefer that they use the handheld for the guests only. Years ago I made a series of "man on the street" spots with the legendary Mal Sharpe--he worked a handheld with as many as 5 guests and himself and essentially "mixed" the audio perfectly that way, off a single mic (an omni, at his request), with no monitoring. Ah, experience. phil p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldmixer Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Thousand dollar cubeTX vs. a 30$ 4ft Ta5>xlrF cable. I went with the cable plugged into one of my existing UM's. Never looked back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomboom Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 I went that way for years, fieldmixer. But the thousand bucks cube will give you phantom power... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
