My mind is drawing a blank as to what 'lapel' mic is... but in my 4 years
of taping shows, I've come to some conclusions...
1) You can never afford the mic you like.
2) You can never get away from noisy people.
I dont have the specific model numbers of the mics I'm going to refer to,
but some quality mics in my opinion are...
The Audio Technia 822 - I think this runs around $300? It's a small
handheld mic I believe? It is kinda bass heavy in booming venues.
Sony EMS-907 (?) - This is a mic about the size of a fudgesicle. It sounds
pretty remarkable for it's $100 price tag.
Core Sounds Binauruals - These are 2 small mics that are used optimally
when you are close to the PA. For an extra $50, you can get a bass
roll-off filter which eliminates the low-end rumble. Total costs usually
run in the neighborhood of $260 or so.
Sonic Studio something something 6. These are similar to the Core Sound
mics but run about $500. These have a clear, rich sound and produce a very
true sound. I cant afford these.
I have a pair of Core Sounds, another pair of 'generic' core sounds, and
a very old mic that came with my sony d3 pro-analog deck, and I like the
sony mic the best. It lacks some of the low end, but it sounds true to the
environment. I currently record on a Sony D8 dat deck with some type oh
mic. I'm going to try to get the Modest Mouse show in Columbus on DAT/MP3.
