Our Sound Set up 1

Sound during film: Audio recording

Sound set up during filming, we will be using a Lavalier microphone for an external audio recording. Also we will be using a dynamic mic which will plug into the video camera so we can have clear audio and limit white noise.


A dynamic microphone takes advantage of electromagnet effects. When a magnet moves past a wire (or coil of wire), the magnet induces current to flow in the wire. In a dynamic microphone, the diaphragm moves either a magnet or a coil when sound waves hit the diaphragm, and the movement creates a small current.

A Lavelier is a small electret or dynamic microphone used for television, theatre, and public speaking applications, in order to allow hands-free operation. They are most commonly provided with small clips for attaching to collars, ties, or other clothing.
