hi

for a project at our university we have to record several news shows.
with a sony vx-2100 cam we film a speaker reading out several news
scripts.

so we are looking for a good mikrophone. we thought a about a
"tie-microphon" but we are not sure which one too use and which is
compatible to a sony vx-2100.

what would you recommend us?

thanks
sincerely

Use whatever the university has in the closet.

You will almost certainly do better with a desk microphone than a lavalier. The EV RE-16
is a popular choice.

Does this college course you're following have a tutor?

It's pointed directly at the mouth rather than jammed under the chin or
on the tie, so it's getting direct speech sound.

Probably. It has a standard XLR output, so any camcorder with an XLR
input will be fine.

whats the advantage of a lavalier micro?

The talent can move around with it, and you don't have to worry about
a desk mike or a boom mike getting into the shot. If the shot is static
and the talent is seated there's no reason for it.

Clean sound, relatively low coloration, durable, little clothing rustling.

Yes; if the cam has anything besides an XLR mic input you'll need an
adapter.

whats the advantage of a lavalier micro?

Subject can walk around without getting off-mic. Until he or she trips over
the cord.

Peace,
Paul

Unfortunately the VX2100 has only a 3.5 jack audio in, although its
professional brother, the PD170, has XLR connectors.
To use a mic with XLR out you need to get or make an adaptor lead or,
better, use a Beachtek adaptor box that attaches to the tripod mount of the
camera. These things might well exist in the college already.

Use a Rode VideoMic. It's already wired to send audio to both tracks of a
stereo mini input.
