Christopher Salazar Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hi! Any tips or tricks to use when recording a workout session. The instructor is bouncing on mini trampoline while giving a presentation on the exercise. To the instructors credit she never sounds out of breath, but maintains a good level of volume. Has as anyone had success with such a gig? What tools and techniques worked for you? Thanks for reading this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandering Ear Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 I've always used dual ear headworn mics for this with good success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Feeley Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I've only done a few, but headmounted and headsets/earsets have worked well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Darling Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 We just did a shoot with a tabata class and the DPA d:fine dual ear model. It worked out really well, and the directional capsule version we used sounded great and completely rejected the routine music being pumped at a reasonably loud volume over a monitor in the room. I'd avoid a single ear design as they tend to flop around too much, and that's a bad thing when a mic like that gets off axis or too far from the source. Placement MATTERS, so pay attention when you're mic'ing up talent and have them audition a few of their more radical moves. I suppose you could opt for an omni version of a mic like that, and it would be less sensitive to precise placement, but I would think the best bet is the directional capsule, as music often plays for exercise routines.
