Topic: Lectrosonics

Adam Curry describes a "cockamamie" microphone setup involving a Lectrosonics lavalier clipped to a windscreen in front of a Heil PR40. The hosts discuss the use of notch filters to remove "mud" or unwanted frequencies between 200 and 400 Hertz to improve vocal clarity in recordings.

A new portable recording setup using Lectrosonics wireless gear and Ableton Live is yielding better audio quality than traditional studio equipment. The discussion also covers MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) and "Countryman" ear-set microphones, which use nanotechnology to provide high-end condenser sound in a nearly invisible form factor.
