    Awesome. Why do they put particular eqs on news readers voices (m/f) which removes much of the formant which makes females sound distinct? are you telling me some of those women just sound like that normally? idts! /radio broadcaster

    First of all, thanks for the interesting video! I want to use this headset (4488 or the 4466) in a planetarium. This is a dome with 2 projectors and ventilation. On the other hand, I also want to use it in an auditorium for a larger audience. Now I don't know which one to choose. Omni or directional. Omni retains the timbre of the voice and the directional does not or less. However, I don't know what is best. There is not much background noise unless that projector is at a greater distance from me. At first I would have chosen the directional but since the timbre of the voice is somewhat less, I have doubts. Can you give me some advice?

    This video should be called "How to Definitely not mic a saxophone". That is a stuffy dull bad sound (mic placement fault not the players) and isn't capturing the higher frequencies or true tone. Mic should be pointed towards the top of the bell.

    They are perfectly suitable for recording. But of course, you also have the option of using our pencil mics such as 4011 or 4006. In many cases, we have seen recording engineers use both at the same time - 4099 for close miking and pencil mics a bit further away for a touch of ambience.

    Perfect beginners guide Thanks You haven't told why we have to choose Omni instead of directional sometimes If directional probably match more cases And if with directional mic seted separatly on a stand or table... We have a chance to miss a bit with not having a habit to work with mic Here it looks like we cant miss the direction and how far and how close we are to the mic Or there are still some more chances that holder will move and we loose the sweet spot Or there are some frequency losses...?

    Still something I'm not sure about. Why would someone ever want an omnidirectional headset microphone ? Obviously the goal of a headset microphone is to pick up your own voice and not the ambient noise. So why are there omnidirectional headset microphones ? He said that in s controlled environment, like a studio, he would use an omnidirectional one. Is it because omnidirectional ones are better in picking up the whole range of one's voice ?

  • @DPAmicrophones

    @ytonaona In general terms an omni mic will give you the best audio. It is the poler pattern that will provide the most flat and uniform response across all frequencies. That combined with beeing the absolute best placement to capture the voice, an omni headset will be the best choice if you do not have other challenges to worry about. The great thing about the placement is that you are very close to the sound source, so other sound sources are relatively quiet compared to the main signal. That beeing said, there can be plenty of reasons where an directional headset is the best choice. A directional will give you even more difference in main signal (the voice) and all the other sounds in the scene. So the question is always, is the proximity enough to mute other sound sources or do you need that extra isolation of a directional mic at the cost of some clarity in the signal. Pros & cons.

    @@DPAmicrophones Thank you very much. I'll soon participate in a spectacle for children. It's a hybrid spectacle : storytelling + music. On stage there will be a full band and me the storyteller. Most of the time when I speak they don't play full power and vice versa. But there are many times where they do play when I speak, for sound effects/background soundscape and also when we fade in/fade out respectively. So that when they are finishing and fading out their song I already start speaking. And when my part of text is about to end, they already fade in the next song. They have drums, keyboards, bass, saxophone. Plus some voice mics. There are "returns" (or however you call the speakers to hear yourself. I'm a beginner in all of that) on stage for each of us. With everything you said and I've read, it seems a directional (cardioid) headset mic would be the best for me ? In summary, it's a live performance, there are instruments everywhere, my voice needs to be isolated and clear from the rest, children in the public may laugh, scream, talk etc, and I'm moving on stage. What do you think? I only see two cons: - As a storyteller I would have liked the whole spectrum of my voice to be heard. - I'm moving on stage and I read somewhere that in that case an omni is easier to set up in the mix, because it anyway receives sound from everywhere. While a directional is , well, very directional and since I'm moving I might get different input at different times depending on where I'm located. Example: it could be that the back (dead) end of my directional mic (facing outwards) is cutting out a guitar next to me (as it should), but when I move on stage, it could be that the opening side of my mic is pointing right at the guitar and at my mouth (guitar being on the same direction). What are your thoughts ?

    We only make condenser mics, and definitely argue that they can in most cases be used just as well (if not better than) as dynamic mics.
