Hey everybody, my name is Tom and today we're looking at the deity d3v mic Pro
I've had my hands on this mic for just over two months and I've used it in a
couple other videos that you're able to find here on this channel one of which
being an in-studio video and another one I used it for a review so I've used this
mic both indoors and outdoors and today we're gonna be testing distance as well
as testing some of the features that this mic does include so this mic is not
for long distance audio I just thought it would be a fun little test so we're
gonna map out 25 feet 50 feet a hundred feet I'm gonna test this at just a
regular normal volume we currently had the mic set for four I'm gonna do a
couple different tests the first test is going to be that the audio level that
you're hearing right now test it at those different increments normal
talking and then we'll crank it all the way up and see what you guys can hear
you should be able to hear the peaks the microphones still on for two so I'm 250
hey everybody here from the mic I just clapped okay cool on to a hundred
okay so the next thing we're gonna do is we're gonna crank the microphone all the
way up to ten and I'm gonna do the same test say my distance and then clap
alright cool here we go again this is four and this is ten so now we're gonna
make our way back hey everybody 25 feet away from the camera and the microphone
and chances are you are hearing a lot of wind and probably a low Rumble
there's snowmobiles all over the place okay cool
hey everybody I am now 50 feet away from the camera on the microphone yeah I
didn't actually think about this but I'm facing a building - so you guys actually
might be hearing echo reverb coming off the building back into the the backside
of that mic but yeah 50 feet away cool okay 100 feet
hundred feet under feet away yeah so hopefully you don't hear the distant
airplanes and cars and we're back on four there are a couple of things I want
to talk about with regards to this mic and my experiences thus far so I don't
know about you but I'm I'm not an instruction guy anytime I get a product
or anytime I get a new piece of gear I rarely open these do you hear that I
don't even see it you can definitely hear that with this okay let me crank
this a 10 see if you can hear it
this is a good mic for ghost-hunting
okay so what I was saying is I rarely I rarely read instruction manuals and the
V my d3 pro I highly encourage you to read this though the one weird thing
that I didn't expect was actually having to turn on the microphone itself
I know it's simple it's silly but because of my experience with the rode
videomic pro plus there's no need to turn on and off a microphone where the
deity mic you don't have to turn off it goes into like a sleep mode you do
actually have to turn it on before ever use it's one of those things that you do
once you learn so they encourage you to start the mic in level 6 kind of test
your audio and then adjust from there based on where you are what you're
shooting camera settings etc so read the read the instruction manual so what
we're gonna do now is I'm gonna stand here talk the same way to you and then
show you guys some of the low-cut stuff which actually at this point mother then
went a bit nice this whole video I want I want you guys to be able to hear the
raw audio that comes from this know that in this video all all audio is currently
unedited it's it's out of camera it's into my timeline and it's exported for
you to hear and make a decision about okay so right now I just have adjusted
the 75 Hertz low-cut this is what it sounds like how do I sound I didn't
actually check this one actually that's probably what I should do huh
give myself idea of how great I sound yeah I sound good awesome
okay let's adjust and this is the 150 low-cut I actually I kinda want to hear
this too oh yeah that's nice actually if I was if I was if I was shooting with
this and and I had this setup outside in a big echoey against a building outdoor
area I would probably adjust this knob as well so this is what we're gonna do
oh yeah baby listen to that listen sound so good oh god alright yeah so this is
what it sounds like with the 150 low cut but let's let's adjust back to the
baseline no low cuts back to four and this is this is going directly into
my camera directly into the timeline directly into your ears after being
uploaded I really do like this microphone matter of fact it's been my
single use microphone since I opened it and unboxed it nearly two months ago
it's a great mic I like everything about it it's got a really really nice clean
sound nice low-end not tinny beautiful beautiful sounding
microphone I'm totally unaware of the current cost
of this mic but I will definitely throw it somewhere on screen right now so you
guys know roughly where that lies in your price point and if it's something
you can afford lastly I want you guys to know that I'm working on a new video the
video is a face-off between deity's V mic d3 Pro and rode mics video Pro Plus
both incredible microphones but I'm gonna put all the audio out there for
you guys to judge so if you aren't already make sure you subscribe and ring
that notification bells so you don't miss it
I'll make sure to throw up the unboxing so if you guys haven't watched that you
know what exactly comes in the package that you buy from deity and that's it
guys thank you so much for watching and I hope to see you in the next video
peace
