Following on from yesterday:
For field recording we have two mic options - lapel mic and a base of hand held mic option.
Both send back to a Azden battery operated - camera mounted Receiver.
200UPR Receiver
Frequency Range UHF 63-Channel Selectable (793.750 – 805.875MHz)
Type of Reception 2 Channel Receiver
As this takes in two separate feeds from two mics - the outputs from this are plugged straight into the XLR inputs of the HVX200.
I love this unit .. we have another I will talk about tomorrow but this thing seems to be very robust.
The hand mic unit just clicks on the base of an XLR mic - In yesterdays photo I think John is using the XM1800s Behinger… I tell you this mic is super cheap and completely professional… it is solid - metal and yet very inexpensive. We have a bunch of them as our “workhorse” mics which dont matter if they are lost or nicked… vs our studio mics - which are 10X the price. Honestly for dialogue - they are cheap and brilliant.

Curious about how well the Azden has worked for you in a field environment. Most folks I know seem to gravitate toward a higher end kit like lectrosonics. I have used Azden from rental houses and they have been okay. Do you experience many dropouts?
