Re: Road video microphone
Hey. I use sony ecm-ds70P stereo mic with my ptp1 and it works great. I even got a few recordings of a bootleg gigs which i recorded for a few bands in few of the clubs with it, so if you want write me off list and i can send a few samples so that you can hear how it sounds.

Re: Road video microphone
Are we talking mono or stereo mics here? The Rode Shot gun mic would amost certainly have been a mono mic. I'd say look at Audio Technica, Senheisser, and the likes. I use a Beyer stereo mic for some stereo interviewing which is very nice. for mono work I use an Electrovoice RE50 which is an omni mic, but if you get in close works well for interviewing.

RE: Road video microphone
Hi, Andre. I don't think you need a shotgun mic like the rode to do interviews and environmental recordings, and as someone else here has said, I think the rode might be too sensitive for the input of the plextalk. I think for interviews and environmental sounds you might do just as well getting a mic with an omnidirectional pickup pattern meaning that it would pick up in all directions equally well. For interviews you could get close to your subject and for environmental sounds it would record ambiance very well. The problem with mics like the videomic is that unless your directly pointing the mic at the sound source you won't get a good recording, whereas omnidirectional mics are much more forgiving. You also could use a dynamic rather than a condensor mic, so you wouldn't need a mic with a battery. Omnidirectional dynamic mics like the audiotechnica at-804 are very nice, and audiotechnica makes other omni condensor mics like the atm-10a, which might work well for your purposas.

RE: Road video microphone
Rode microphones have an excellent reputation particularly because they give very high quality for their price. However, with the Plextalk PTR1 and 2 you do need to watch out for mics which are very sensitive - as they tend to overload the mic preamps of the PTR 1 and 2. This even happens if you lower the mic input volume. Rode mics (spelt R O D E) could well be very sensitive. One thing is fort certain, ikf the internal mic is as bad on the PTR1 as it is in the PTR2, you need an external mic urgently. Sony mics may be a good starting point, they aren't necessarily top-shelf quality, but they do seem to pair quite nicely with the PTRs. Hope this is of some help Tim -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of tim cumings Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 9:49 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Road video microphone Andre, this is a shotgun microphone, meaning it is very directional.
