Why wear two lav mics?


Recommended Posts

To answer Nick about French TV, the large capsules they use are Sennheiser's MKE40. These are cardioids Lavallier. Sounds great. Really useful in debates with a lot of people around the table and a PA for the audience. As they are cardios, they are very sensitive to head movements. If the talent turns his head hard left for example, you really need a capsule in this direction, reason why they always wear two mikes. And as à backup for sure.
