Re: [Callers] Proper use of vocal mic by caller

Don, I was not aware of this flexibility in the G3 or how to set it. I will have to look again at the documentation. What do you recommend?

First, they have different patterns of how sensitive they are as you go off the center axis. Some are omnidirectional, some you really have to point at the sound source (sometimes called a shotgun mic) A common compromise is called a cardioid mic, because a graph of it's sensitivity looks like a heart. The mics that work with the ice cream cone grip are likely omni or cardioid. Second, some are noise cancelling (may have "nc" in the model number). These mics take the difference in signal between the front and back of the microphone, which will be much larger if you speak right next to the mic, and rejects sounds from farther away. I've used some mics where your lips pretty much have to be touching the screen. THat extreme is not my favorite at all, but I guess it helps eliminate feedback. I looked up the G3, and it looks like you can switch the sensor in it for different patterns. So hard to say what you are working with now. -Don On Sat, Feb 25, 2012 at 1:26 PM, Rickey Holt <holt.e(a)comcast.net> wrote: do this. _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)sharedweight.net http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers
