Microphone recommendation for recording 2 channel demos


Looking to record sound demos from a smartphone but looking for a better microphone. Something like sound sommelier. Unfortunately he doesn’t disclose what mic he uses. Budget would be $500. Thx

@mihorn i think it is a real live recording of the system... what would the point be of a dub? The whole point is to let people hear the actual system (albeit through youtube)

 

@yoyoyaya Im open to even the h5. I really wish i could get that sony but i need it for friday and no stores I can see in ontario carry it.

@OP - The 5 does have the advantage of recording to SD, rather than micro SD cards. But any of them or the Sony will give you better sound and more editing flexibility than a smartphone.

Best of luck with your video/recording project.

Thanks appreciate it. Im gonna head to an AV shop tomorrow.

I might grab a pair of omnidirectional mics too to plug into the recording for even better sound.

They made you think it’s live recording by moving camera around the room. But there is no sound difference the camera close to tweeter or behind the speaker. Listen to this video when the camera is moving.

On SS’s video, they wrote "Is This The BEST Audio Setup of 2024?" Not the best sound set up. If the system sound is great as as in video, I’d say the perfect sound system. However, they didn’t mention about the sound. The sound doesn’t matter in this video.

Here’s 2 videos from SS channel. I think only one video is live recording. Alex/WTA

The live recording always have the room sound signature. SS’s video doesn’t have any room signature. Listen this recording with and without the room signature.
