RadoStefanov Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) I am awaiting for some necklace mics for tests. Will report after I use them. Edited June 21, 2015 by RadoStefanov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Mills Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Test listened at last year's Atlanta Sound Mixer meet up. It sounded fine, but I could not see how to hide it under most of the male costumes I run across. Could have worked under some ladies costumes, but not often enough to be a primary tool for me in the shows I am working at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Necklaces have their use for shows with multiple talent where you have them mic themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam White Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I won one in an online contest a few months back. I have only had one opportunity to use it so far, on a doc where I was short on microphones and needed it! Used it on a male wearing an open collared shirt. Nobody objected on the look. It doesn't look like any microphone people are used to seeing, so that works in its favour. I found that occasionally the necklace rotated slightly inward, making contact with the clothing. Otherwise it sounded good. If it doesn't sound good where it lands on the neck, you're running pretty low on options! cheers, adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
