In this week's session, we'll have a look at and a listen to two new-ish products — the Earthworks SR117 handheld condenser microphone and the new RODE DS2 desktop microphone stand. The Earthworks SR117 was designed for live performance, much like the Shure SM58 and similar microphones, but is, instead, a condenser microphone. The DS2 is a newly designed desktop microphone stand from RODE which can hold microphones up to 900g. After that, we answer your sound for video questions.
If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. We have a course on sound for live-streaming with the ATEM Mini, Introduction to Izotope RX for Dialogue Audio, and Mixing fundamentals in DaVinci Resolve Fairlight.
