AZDEN WLX-PRO Pro Series Lavaliere System

I was nervous at first recording because the audio volume was too low, and I lost quality by boosting with software. I'm sure I voided my warrenty, but I opened both the receiver and tranmitter to see if I could make adjustments... there is a tiny screw labeled VR101 (trans) and VR2 (rec) that adjust pick up. I basically maxed both of them out because I'm soft spoken, but it works like a charm now. Works to reduce pickup as well, if needed. Just be careful of cheap plastic housing when opening.

For my purposes -- handsfree audio for video presentations -- this mic has proven itself well up to the task. Sound quality is very good, range is more than adequate for my needs.

Overall, this is a good investment for beginning videographer. It works as described, yet I found that it's sound needed post work if it was going to be presaentable. My standards are not unrealistic, yet I was disappointed when I first worked with this mic. It comes with a lavalier mic, and a handheld. Of the two, the handheld pickup better, and is more manageable. Both only record in mono, so you have to set your camera to place the signal on the two channels, or do so in postproduction.

Still, if you wish to use a mic that is dependable, is inconspicuous, and has a small learning curve, this mic could serve your purposes.

I bought this to work with my camcorder. It is not a stereo microphone, so the sound is on only one side, but since I'm using Sony Vegas 7 + DVD Production Suite to do my video editing, it hardly matters. Only two radio frequencies are available. This is fine for what I do, since I don't expect there will be anyone else using either of these frequencies near where I am working and I don't expect to use more than two at a time.

Despite the claim that both units take AA batteries, the unit we recieved takes 9V Batteries. That is somewhat annoying because one of the reasons we bought this model was because of the AA battery usage as advertised. Will review performance when we've had a chance to use it.

I purchased this to work with my DV-Camera for some amature projects. I found the sound quality to do some amature videos. I was surprised at the great sound quality and ended up using it for some professional projects as well. The batter life also is pretty impressive. I do not think I have changed out the batteries in over 20 hours of use.

Affordable and effective. Didn't pick up a lot of background music or talking, and got a good deep sound from the person wearing it. Used it for a wedding and the other wireless systems used didn't interfear with it's opperation nor did the background clog up the mic.

The Azden transmitter-receiver system has operated marvelously well for me over scores of interviews. As an aspiring video maker it was a product I should have bought a long time ago.

Mine is the 9v-powered model, not the AA. But it has proven well-made, light and easy to use.

There's something neat about micing people with a lavaliere unit. I find that they enjoy the attention of attaching the mic and the professional touch that it brings to the taping.

Being able to range abut the room while taping and simultaneously retaining good audio is a remarkable experience. Another benefit of micing someone is that cuts way back on ambient noise. The din of voices surrounding your interview is a typical intrusion; using the lavaliere cuts out a great deal of the unwanted sonic information.
