question

Unsure about which cable to purchase as microphone will be plugged into Azden FMX-DSLR mixer. Do I need the Kopul or the Hosa?
Asked by: Steve C.
Look like the FMX-DSLR mix has normal XRL connectors so any normal mic cable (XLR male on one end and female on the other) will work (not brand specific). I use the Hosa cables as my house cable brand but any brand should work as long as it is a high-quality cable (life is too short for cheap cables ;-). I use both the RE50/B mic as well as a Heil PR-40 with my DSLR but use another mixer brand.Bill

Is this ideal for a podcast? Or is there a better handheld option?
Asked by: Kelly
I have owned this mic for years and love it. The RE-50 is excellent for field interviews, sort of a industrial-grade answer to recording under any conditions. It could work in a pinch for podcasting, but it's not ideal for that purpose, especially if you move into video, because it requires staying on top of the microphone. The usual suspects for podcast / broadcast are the Shure SM7B, Electrovoice RE-20 and RE-27, and Audio-Technica BP40. But if you like the hand-held form factor, check out the Sennheiser e935 sounds great, price is right, has great off-axis rejection, and doesn't require a Cloudlifter or Fethead. Stick it on a desk stand and you're done ;-) You don't want a condenser mic for podcast unless you're in an acoustically treated studio, picks up way too much background noise. Disaster, don't do it. A dynamic mic with native attenuation of room sounds is the way to go.

I already have a Tascam DR-10L Pro. Is there an adaptor that will allow me to use this (or another ENG mic) without a new rec?
Asked by: dominic
An adapter cable such as BH #RECASEK100M could technically be used to connect a dynamic ENG mic to the Tascam DR-10L, but this would not be recommended. Dynamic microphones will need more gain than the DR-10L is designed to provide, and results may not be as desired.
