David Lipka Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Does anyone know if the Rode MICON adapter is the same as the DPA Microdot? It looks the same on the website... Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Sjostrom Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 No it's not the same unfortunately that would've been awesome though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Actualsizeaudio Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Stay away from these. There is a little wind screen in there that comes loose, and rattles around. Makes the mic useless. I'm not the only one to have that problem. Too bad because I thought it sounded nice, and was reasonably priced. As for the pin mic, the new one is nothing like the old one IMHO. Too bad. I love my old ones, but I'm so afraid of losing the capsule, that I rarely use them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Morrow Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I also have had the experience that the rode lav sounds worse hidden than a cos11. Curious why I get more handling noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Denton Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I also have had the experience that the rode lav sounds worse hidden than a cos11. Curious why I get more handling noise. It sound good, possibly even better than the COS-11, as an externally mounted lav as it has a little better low frequency response but conversely this makes it a little muffled when hidden under clothing. This is true of both the Rode PinMic and Lav as they both have the same capsule; only the mount is different. I use the PinMic a lot in ENG and studio jobs because it looks nicer and less obvious than a clip mounted lav. Looks like a button or tiny brooch on the top. To the untrained eye it doesn't look like a mic at all. Be careful when using these mics with other lavs particularly COS-11's as the wiring is different and the phase is flipped.
