Title: Best Small Dual Recording Recorder and Best Zero Handling Lav Mic?
Post by: taperssectionmatt on August 17, 2014, 02:55:25 AM

I'm going to be working on a project where the actor will have a lav mic hard wired to a small recorder, and both recorder and lav will be hidden on actor. What I need is the best small dual recording recorder (by dual recording I mean the ability to record the lav to 2 separate channels, 1 at one level, and another one lower volume level, in case the actor yells and clips/blows out the sound). I also need the best lav mic that has the closest to zero handling noise as the actor may be moving vigorously with animated gestures. What would you recommend. (No wireless lavs here, I'm looking for hard wired.)

Thanks in advance, Matt

You might check out the Tram TR-50 lavalier. Omni mikes have inherently much lower handling noise than directional mikes, and the Tram is tiny and smooth. For a microphone to have "zero" handling noise, however, is impossible.

@DSatz Yeah Tram TR-50 is one of my favorite to use.  Thanks
