[nigel101]

sounds the best and there cheap!

[TheEnglishBlokey]

Wow so clearly the best

[gogoZAZgogo]

Great sound, at what distance from your face were you recording with the microphone?

[zephyrnoid]

Thanks.I found this lav to be flat for spoken sound. It's pinned on my shirt at the solar plexus ;) about 16" from my mouth

[gogoZAZgogo]

Thanks a lot for the reply ;) I think I'm gonna get the new version of the mic. I'm buying the Beachtek anyways because my camera only has 2,5mm plugin :S

Greetz!

[ivionday]

sounds great. like a v/o, even.

...just noticed (on the other recording) you said it was cam noise (not ac)!

[candnrg]

Testing with youtube compression is like sticking your head in a bucket of ....! (said with love, of course!) That said, this arrangement is 'cleaner' but less dynamic, muffled, and lacks low end...you gotta wonder if the low-end rumble from the other test is more accurately capturing everything (ie, air conditioner???) It was richer.

With regards to comparability testing, I have some questions. Where both mikes set at the same distance and same volume & tone levels or were they adjusted using some other means? The ecm44b mic recording was made using a beachtek mixer-xlr camcorder adapter. How much of the sound improvement is attributed to the beachtek mixer. What about recording a test session of the Sony ms907 with the Beachtek? That would be a more comparable comparision than the one you have provided.

[HappyRick]

The Sony ecm44b is much clearer than the Sony Ms907. the 44b condenser mike lavalier sells for about double the cost of the MS907: discount is about $125 for the ecm44b compared to $65 for the ms907. But what a difference! I own a MS907 (bought for $25 on ebay) and will definitely check out the ECM44b! Thanks for the test

[Alexville]

this one is really good

[rememberyesterday]

Definitely the best. Sounds rich and full and no outside noise. If only I could afford mics... and lights... and a new MAC... haha.

[zephyrnoid]

Thanks. Yes the ECM44B & Sennheiser EW100 are lapel mic and the rest are shotgun or simply camcorder mounted mics

[preachingpro]

I also think this one sounds the best.I have a question are you using a lapel mis or some other ?
