<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe mics come as a matched pair with some small wind screens, a nice mic holder and something very interesting, each mic comes with 3 interchangeable heads that change the polar patterns from omni-directional to cardioid to supercardioid. Playing with the different heads, one can really tell the differences. I can see using the supercardioid when recording voice and cardioid when recording music instruments. The omni head is going to be used in circumstances when I need to capture something like perhaps more than 1 person talking with one mic, in circumstances where I need to capture a broader area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday I setup the Panasonic GH5s on top of the Zoom F4 on a tripod and as mics used these Neewer mics. It was as a test run rehearsal for one of my niece\u2019s viola recitals. This one a little special in that this is the year-end recital for the teacher of my niece and she needed to know how she sounds on her setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The part that I recorded was only a 10 minute area of two instruments, a violin (my niece\u2019s partner) and her on the viola, but the sound quality was very pleasing. The location is a church, a vast one with TONS of reverb, so getting the mics close to the musicians was very important. I did manage to get them to within 4 feet, so that is nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did have a few concerns\u2026 Violins\/violas are not very loud, but I did not want to even come close to coming near the 0 mark, so I topped them up at -24db for the majority of their song and then I set up dual recording on the F4 (a new option since the last firmware). This is where sounds on mics #1 and #2 are captured at whatever levels you set them at and the same tracks are captured on tracks #3 and #4, but I set them up at 14db lower. That way, I get good sound capture of the instruments but much lower\/safer levels are captured if the pianist gets all excited or when people start to dd loud applause after a performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That was not the hard part\u2026 this church is basically a typical church, meaning it HEAVILY back-lights the performers, who basically look like pure black shadows on an overexposed background. I am going to have to do some heavy post processing on the final film, but I think the equipment that I have will do it\u2019s best to help me out (the GH5s is the best low-light camera that Panasonic has in a micro 4\/3 sensor size).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I plan to find out in a few hours how well it all comes together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, just wow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mics performed very admirably! The sound was clear and very minimal echo from the location, even when at a couple of times in the show the players moved back about 15-20 feet further back on to a raised section of the stage, as opposed to where the rest of the performers were located (much closer to the mics). There was minimal sound degradation, all I had to do was raise volume levels a little to compensate. Now, they don\u2019t sound as good as the more expensive mics that I have\u2026 but for the cost, they are fantastic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
