hey guys it's lance at mac sound solutions and today i'm just doing a little test with a wireless
lav system i have the sennheiser g4 receiver and transmitter and i'm using the mke2 microphone
which is a lower end lav it's not super high end but the transmitters and the transmitter and
receiver with the mic package is pretty expensive so um i just wanted to show you that you can
record a lav right into your iphone and get really good quality i'm using the iphone 13 pro and
i got it on a tripod you need the apple lightning to headphone adapter and you need a specific
cable to go from the receiver to the iphone okay so here's my little rig we got the iphone 13 pro
with the lightning adapter and the amazon special cable and the sennheiser receiver so one thing to
note is that there's three black circles on this end that goes to the iphone if you do it backwards
it doesn't work and the two circle end going into the receiver now the other thing you want to do is
to set your iphone to mono you want to record the audio in mono you don't want the voice coming out
of the left channel and then you have to deal with that later you know if you're just using
the internal mic on the iphone you don't want to record in stereo either because your voice
is going to be moving around between the two speakers you just want it to be dead center so
anyway that's one thing you want to set up first so you go into your settings on your iphone go to
camera settings and then you see record stereo sound you want that turned off to record mono
i'm just going to show you what it sounds like at the same distance with the built-in iphone camera
mics as opposed to the lavalier okay now i'm using the iphone 13 pro's built-in microphones and
as you can hear it's more roomy sounding it's not as direct and of course i can't move around
you know if you hold your iphone up here and you're doing some kind of selfie vlog
you're going to be close enough to the mic to get pretty good audio
but when you have it at a distance from you or like you know 10 feet away then it's going to get
more and more distant sounding and more and more sounding like the room that you're in so having a
wireless lab is a great way to go so let's switch back to the wireless lav okay so the other thing
i want to talk about is i recorded a little clip out on the street outside my house we're in frame
so here we are i don't know about a hundred feet away or more we're just gonna keep going
down the street and let's see how far we can go dudes before it cuts out but what this
shows you is you can really use this to get good audio to the iphone with a wireless lava
yeah so now we're down almost to the fire hydrant
by bruce's house we gotta look out dudes there's a car coming here comes the car
it's hot how's it going
all right
all right you can bicycle all by yourself okay we're at the fire hydrant how's our range doing
these guys are putting in a new driveway looks pretty good
looking good looking good hi
looks nice see the new driveway we're going down yeah where do you want to go down the street
let's go get daddy's phone then we can go down okay so here we are all the way down
at the end of the block past joe's house just at the corner and now we're coming back not
sure if it'll reach that far that's a pretty long distance probably 250 feet maybe at least 200 feet
oh doodles
so we're just walking around testing out the lav to the iphone uh you can hear the guys
using their leaf blowers a common sound around these parts in fact
rarely a day goes by without hearing that sound i think they should have lawn cutting day
combined with leaf blowing day twice a week like recycle what come on
that snake is down there somebody ran over a big fat garter snake what you want to go down there
you want to see the snake so now we're walking by hello are we actually recording
i think we're recording yeah hi snake poor snake is dead dudes yeah snake is dead
snake is bye-bye snake got run over by a car dudes
so here we are again i'm walking my daughter down the street and there's a snake that's been
run over my phone is all the way at the house and as you can see or as you can't see because
i'm not in frame you can get really good sound if you don't have the leaf blowers right yeah
dead snake dudes i'm pretty sure that's just a garter snake right yeah i think it's
a garter yeah it's a garter snake dudes somebody ran over the poor garter snake
now look these guys have some decorations you want to see
let's go see their decorations oh look they got a pumpkin they got a a witch ghost
ghosty witch and they got a guy with a hat a straw man or you know i don't know yeah
