To have a good sound, it's not enough to use a microphone! You still need to know how to install it properly. Patrick, Product Manager at EasyMovie, explains how to do it in his tutorial:
Passion untangling
11 am. The time when your shoot starts. You are ready, your speaker too, all that remains is to turn. You take out your equipment: the phone, the stand, the microphone and... the cable from the lavalier microphone completely tangled up. It all started so well though! Here you are, chatting embarrassedly with your interviewee in a bit of a hurry, while retracing the path led by this damn thread.
After spending an endless amount of time untangling the cable, you are ready to go. For future times, do not hesitate to store it well by wrapping it around your hand, before attaching it. With this tip, you'll save two precious minutes before each video.
A whole installation.
Once the cable is free, it's time for installation. On television as on the Internet, we are lucky to be able to show the microphone on our map. Just assuming the microphone is not assuming the cable!
To hide it well, it's simple: just slide it under the shirt. Be careful that it does not appear while you are spinning.
In what direction?
Now that everything is in place, in order, straight and tidy, all that's left is to clip it in the right direction.
“But what is that meaning?“You tell me.
Well, the one in the mouth. The microphone only picks up in one direction, it is preferable that it be that of the mouth! As Patrick explains,
“ It is a directional microphone, you have to point it in the direction of the mouth and check that nothing will rub on it during the interview“
So unleash your hair, jewelry, scarf and company for superior sound - guaranteed to be free of unintended noise.
The bonus:
Last tip: avoid the T-shirt with a round neck or tight neck! Opt for a top with buttons and a V-neck. And that's it, you're ready to have the best sound possible for your videos.
