5 Stars Gets the Job Done w/ No Problems
I use this (as one of 4) hanging from the ceiling in a conference room. I have had no problems with it. It does what is is designed to do. It delivers pretty crisp sound — I am recording discussion groups, so it is all talking with no music or singing. For my purposes, this is a really good value.
5 Stars The Lavalier Secret
I was reluctant to go with the cheaper, battery operated lower end Lavalier.
So, I bit the bullet, and paid [...] bucks for this Pro 45.
Mind you I am blessed to have a Locker full of exotic and pro hi end mics, so I know a good mic when I hear one.
-1st In the box, and paperwork inside the little red Box, there is no mention of lvalier. It is however, a PRO XLR connector,
2- It is Phantom power (no battery)
3- It sounds incredible!
4- There is no wireless issues.
5- It is hide worthy, and built sturdy enough to do the job capturing nuance.
6- has a 20′ connection is beautiful.
7- For video, I am running this into a decent pre, and it sounds like Big time Network television. A few more bucks, but I feel like i have another decent mic in the collection.
Happy with this for a New cast type Lavalier use. If it works for you is a matter of taste/ style/ use/ opinion. For sound quality, This, on the lapelle with a goof gate/ expander, I should not even be writing this secret !
Have fun.
