Well the show floor interviews were done via a point and shoot camera at the particular vendor's booth. I did get the OTG interface for my phone so I can plug in a USB mic, but I heard some bad things about USB mics, so I didn't continue down that path. The alternative was to get an analog mic and then an analog - USB box. At that point my meager audio knowledge was met with increasing costs and wasn't quite sure I wanted to proceed down that road.
For examples, check out the interviews on our YouTube page. To get everything desired in the shot, you have to be far enough away from the booth to where then the rest of the show floor audio starts to drown out the subjects of the video. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Woodfield" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, February 8, 2016 11:05:40 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Wireless Mic Selection Hell Podcast so USB?

Looking for ways to improve the audio in our show floor interviews for The Brothers WISP. No revenue is generated from the podcast, so cost is definitely a factor. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck McCown" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, February 7, 2016 11:45:53 AM Subject: [AFMUG] OT Wireless Mic Selection Hell Didn’t like the audio of the shotgun mic I got last week. Picks up too much ambient noise. So, looking at wireless mics this morning. Too many choices. Lots of folks selling high end stuff on ebay that is illegal to use. Huge price range, all the way from $10 to $1000 systems. I think I want UHF. But then when I look at those there are performance reviews on amazon all over the map too. I think I want a small receiver that can fit on a camera shoe. I know I want a clip on mic. I know I need to stay under 600 MHz, not totally sure you are legal in the 500 MHz ranger unless you get a part 74 license.... Arrgh. Love to have recommendations.
