@DJILLEE 2 жыл бұрын

Great video! One note I have is that using attenuation does NOT lower background noise. It only lowers the volume of the mic overall. That part was a little misleading.

@RayValencia 2 жыл бұрын

Hey DJ Illee. Thanks for checking it out, man! I thought in my explanation, I showed that the attenuator changes the Sensitivity of the microphone. I used background noise in my example to show the increase/decrease in Sensitivity of my vocals compared to surrounding noises. When set to 0db, it is the most sensitive and you hear the BG noise clearly, as well as extreme detail in my voice (so I showed how both vocals and BG noise decrease in volume as I go higher in Attenuation). If you're interested, I have a part 2 of this video, where I explain the FX3 handle again with the Rode Wireless GO II. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h5ikaq9e17aqiac.html

@philweldon8525 2 жыл бұрын

Very useful explanations. Much better than Sony's manual. The two filter settings are high pass (low cut) filters, mainly used to cut wind, traffic, air conditioner, heavy machinery, or handling noise. Also buzzing florescent light fixtures (60 hz). The filter can be set to 100 hz (hertz or cycles) or 300 hz(hertz or cycles). The cut is fairly gradual, so to cut 60 hz noise, the 300 hz setting is probably best. To cut wind noise, the 100 hz setting is probably best. No cut gives the best sound unless interference from low environmental sounds is a problem (two octaves below middle C is about 60 hz). One cavil; the correct frequencies are 300 Hz, 100 Hz (three hundred cycles per second, one hundred cycles per second-NOT three hundred thousand Hz, one hundred thousands Hz or cycles per second (300 KHz, 100 KHz, three hundred kilohertz, one hundred kilohertz)- humans can not hear nor most microphones pick up, sounds that high in frequency).

@RayValencia 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, absolutely. For every day use mics, like vlogging, or youtube, especially on certain mics that pick up a lot of noise. For example, I always keep Low-cut on the Lowest setting on the Rode VMP+. Not the Max 150hz, just 75hz, because it tends to pick up a good amount of environmental noises and it helps with the AC or fan noises, etc.
