Best microphone for use with Sony fdr-ax43a 4K using for drum classes on zoom
Asked by: Bob
The ECM-VG1 requires phantom power over an XLR connection, so it will not be compatible with the Sony fdr-ax43a 4K. For this camcorder a shotgun microphone with a 3.5mm connection would be more suitable, such as B&H # ROVMNTG.

How does the sound quality compare to the diety d3 pro?
Asked by: NF
Both mics will provide high quality sound and they differ a bit in their features. The ECM-VG1 is designed to deliver a smooth and natural sound with a flat and wide frequency response range of 40 Hz to 20 kHz, low noise level of 18 dB and a high sensitivity of -33 dBV. It also has a two-position low-cut switch to reduce ambient reduce and can handle loud sounds up to 127 dB SPL. The D3 Pro is designed to deliver a clean and clear sound with low noise. It has a frequency response range of 50 Hz to 20 kHz, a low noise level and high sensitivity of -24 dBV. It also has a two-position low-cut switch and can handle loud sounds up to 130 dB SPL. Additionally, the D3 Pro has a gain knob that provides up to 20 dB which gives you better control of the mic's level. Other things to consider between the two mics are the powering options. The ECM-VG1 operates with phantom power only while the D3 Pro has a built-in rechargeable battery and the automatic on/off feature requires plug-in power from the camera or recorder. All of these factors are important to be aware of depending on the camera or recorder you will be using and its capabilities for input and powering.
