Today, I talk a little bit about the struggle of getting good audio when you also want to have good video... That may seem like an easy thing, but in order to get a really soft light source you may need to get a COB light and a soft box. Some LED panel lights work well, but they often don't provide as soft of a look and can cause some harsh lines. The problem is... A lot of COB lights have fans in them. Those Fans can be a little LOUD and can get into the microphone. Since I am an audio channel, I have struggled with making sure I am not getting any additional noise in the room, so people can hear a true representation of the microphone. Lights can sometime be a bit noisy, but I still want my video quality to look pleasant. That's where this light comes in, you don't sacrifice quality and it is SILENT!!!!
Check out the testing and audio samples and see if this light is right for you! If the features are what you need, and you like the quality, then it is right for you!
Thanks for watching the Audio Hotline! I'll see you Audio Nerds next time!
