Azden WMS Pro Wireless Microphone System Review

[CHRnCRS13]

can you use the handheld mic and the body mic at the same time and if not, is there a way to do that?

[mlmlivesupport]

@CHRnCRS13 No you can't. What you might be able to do is to get a y splitter to split the audio feed so you can plug that into the mic port and then one mic into 1 side and the handheld mic in the other side. It is something you will have to test out.

[michael1980123]

Actually what you should do is get a Y cable to split the input into two channels. Right Channel - Lav Left Channel - Shotgun.

[mlmlivesupport]

@michael1980123 That is not a good idea because your voice would be picked up in both the lapel and the shotgun mic.

[michael1980123]

@mlmlivesupport The talent wears a lavalier and a boom operator holds a shotgun mic in front of and over their head. That is industry standard.

[michael1980123]

@mlmlivesupport You can then mix the two tracks together in post.

Excelent review! 

[nickJeen]

Could You give a direct link to the adapter? I didn't see it on your site... thanks.

[mlmlivesupport]

@nickJeen Make sure you visit the right link. I just added 2 text links to the page. 1 is for the microphone and the other is for the adapter.

[nickJeen]

@mlmlivesupport I think there might be something wrong with my mics, because i have this exact adapter and it does not fit.

[mlmlivesupport]

@nickJeen It doesn't fit where? Is it possible to record what you are doing and upload it so we can see?

[sptaugner]

can you give the link to the converter from mono to stereo?

[mlmlivesupport]

@sptaugner I just added a link that will take you to my page for the mic and convertor.

[HelpfulComputerTech]

Very good info man, thanks just ordered 2 sets.

[mlmlivesupport]

@HelpfulComputerTech great! I use mine everytime I use my camcorder. I know you will like it too.

[Simon12865]

@mlmlivesupport

you can hear noise in the video?

[damionnblackk]

so i have a shotgun and have to use the mono to stereo but with this would you need two of them. one for mic to transmitter and one for receiver to camera?

[mlmlivesupport]

@damionnblackk your message went to my spam folder. You only need the convertor for the receiver. It gets plugged into the camera.

[fidelis06]

What if the camera you are using doesnt have a "shoe" to mount what then? How do you then attach receiver to the camcorder?

Please advise.

[mlmlivesupport]

@fidelis06 I believe I answered your question in the video. There is velcro to attach the mic to the camera. If it wont fit on that, rubberband it do the camera or a pole or something.

[TheWindCutter]

We have WindCutters for those!

[videomanico13]

I want to use 4 wireless microphones simultaneously can the Receiver handle the 4 transmitters at a time. Does any one know?? Thanks!

[mlmlivesupport]

@videomanico13 Each mic needs to have its own receiver because they all have to be on different frequencies. Or you need a receiver that can handle multiple frequencies at one time. Your best bet is to get a good shotgun mic.

[Laurbubble]

I also have a canon, I ended up buying a hague adapter for it so that mics can mount onto it. Great review, the mic looks awesome.

[ihath]

Thank you for this helpful review

[bradsull]

Do they make one that will mount on a Canon? Specifically the XA 10?

[TheTjchambers]

@bradsull the mount that comes with it, fits the GL2 size. The cannon I have has a smaller show, so if there is a smaller mount that can be screwed in, then yes. I am assuming some 3rd party probably makes the mount for the smaller show.

[TooMuchRandomness]

Great Video. Extremely clear and detailed! A pleasure watching! Thanks for helping me choose the right mic :')

[heyuguysblog]

This video is awesome. Thanks for taking the time to do it. One question I have is on the handheld mic. I do a lot of interviews on red carpet events with a lot of background noise. Does that mic pick up lots of ambient sound around you or is it quiet uni directional?

Thanks.

Dave

[mlmlivesupport]

@heyuguysblog I need to test it out. I have only bee using the lapel mic. I have some video work coming up, so I will see maybe this week.

[1chomps]

is there any way to monitor the battery life?

[mlmlivesupport]

@1chomps No. There is the only way to see if the batter is dead and that is by the light being off and on. If I remember correctly, they are 9V batteries, so you could test it with your tongue. As long as you don't have a condition that will throw you into shock. =o)

[digitalartwerks]

That was a really good review. Helped me make my decision. Will be ordering in a few minutes.

[MohonaTvCanada]

Thanks for the review. Handheld microphone was good.

[shubus]

There is no question that the lapel microphone attenuates the high frequencies compared to the hand-held. Certainly not objectionable and in many cases desirable to have that frequency roll off. This is a great review with all the necessary info.

[poprocz]

This is an excellent review, Thanks.

[OhSnapitsJuzDin]

Just got mine for christmas!

Just grabbed two 9v batteries! but they're not working ):

I hope the problem is the battery and not the device itself.

[mlmlivesupport]

@OhSnapitsJuzDin Did you test the batteries with your tongue? If you get a good zap, the batteries work. Make sure you get the batteries in correcty.

[OhSnapitsJuzDin]

@mlmlivesupport Turns out that one of the batteries didnt shock me. Made sure i had the polarities on the correct side ): but the red light doesnt light up ):

i'm in trouble huh?

[mlmlivesupport]

@OhSnapitsJuzDin If you didn't get the sting from the 9v battery, then its dead. When you can get a new one, then you can test it out.

[OhSnapitsJuzDin]

@mlmlivesupport I got stung by one of the batteries. And tested it out. The box didn't light up ):, but i'm gonna get a new fresh pair of batteries tomorrow and test it out again. If not ): then i have a bad pair

[mlmlivesupport]

@OhSnapitsJuzDin Thats not good. You should be able to light up the light with just one battery to test each one. Did you buy them brand new?

[OhSnapitsJuzDin]

@mlmlivesupport Got them as a gift. Sent from Amazon. And yes they were new. Pretty unfortunate

[mlmlivesupport]

@OhSnapitsJuzDin You will have to contact the seller about it if it doesnt work. They should let you know about replacing them.

[OhSnapitsJuzDin]

@OhSnapitsJuzDin Just got NEW Batteries, and they work perfectly! I guess the battery that i had Last night had some juice, but not enough to turn on the device.

[OhSnapitsJuzDin]

thanks for all the help btw 

[Freakdeke88]

can you use both mics at the same time?

[mlmlivesupport]

@Freakdeke88 No, just 1 or the other. I don't think a splitter would work because a splitter would be stereo but the mics are mono. The ports may be mono too. You could always try.

[AHPZuazua]

And you bought it? (refering to your extender?

Well at least this sounds good Wireless sounds good...
