Which radiomic is this?

[Dennis Kersten]

This is a popular dutch tv show. I was wondering which radiomic they use and which pattern? It doesn't sound like a omni directional because it's not picking a lot of movement noises.

I once used a sanken cos11 for a sitsown interview like this bit it picked up more clothing noises than these ones. Very curious to know!

??

do you mean the unseen wireless mic system or the particular visible lav mic ??...
it sounds like a Sennheiser.

I've been curious to know what these mic capsules are. I have noticed a lot European, studio based TV has 1 or 2 of these large lav mics on the lapel of the presenters (and guests). I've never come across them in the UK or seen any English speaking TV use them.

 It could be the pop filter in white that gives it away on an audience member who has been wired up for a comment. All of the main players are wearing black lavs but the audience member has a black lav with a white pop filter...

Thanks Stefano,

 

The mystery is solved. The mk(e)40 is a big cardioid lapel mic (which comes in a big box).

Thanks a lot Stefano!

I'm very curious to check them out sometime.

Sennheiser has been selling this mike for about over 30 years now. You can see it even in historical 80's tv shows.

Sounds good, often used when the host's voice is amplified or in rooms with extremely bad acoustics. Of course LCF needed.

Dennis, don't bother to try them out.

They are awful. I was forced to use them in Italy when I was living there because for some reason they are a standard. They are heavy, a pain to put on clothes, impossible to hide, the cable is quite rigid and they sound quite harsh.
Then I started to use smaller lapel mics and my professional life changed.

Mk40 is the standar in Italy, now is starting to be replaced from DPA same size. I don't think is so orrible.

Very funny to see that what is considered like industry standard in French TV  (and french territories like my country) is almost unknow in the rest of the world...
