Wireless Microphone System (BP4029)

Works really well. Did a wedding and sound came out really good for all the musical instruments. Have also done some playing around outside to get some nature sounds and the sound is fantastic. You may want to look into shorter cables. I was able to route the cables on my Canon X35 so that it was not a problem but would prefer shorter cables.

Excellent professional stereo sound for a great price. Very happy with the microphone.

Superb sound quality and compact size

I've had this microphone for about two months, and I am extremely happy with it. I am using it primarily with a Canon XA20, but I have also used it with a Sound Devices MixPre-D, and it works great with both. I have used it on-camera at one wedding, and I am very impressed at how well it can pick out a voice from across a big table during a noisy reception yet still produce a pleasing stereo image. I have used it for interviews, both on-camera and overhead, and I feel like the result is better than a lavalier.On my XA20, I have it mounted (with the supplied O-rings) with the foam windscreen butting against the camera's microphone holder. It seems quite long, but even with the lens zoomed at its widest, it is not in frame. (However, it does cast a shadow when using the infrared light.) Mounted this way, the front of the microphone does tend to droop down slightly in the holder.The microphone's frequency response curve is not exactly flat. The signal is a little weak in the lower frequencies and hot in the higher frequencies. A male voice could use a little EQ. Self-noise is imperceptible, but ambient room noise is more apparent in stereo than it would be with a mono microphone.Note that because this is a stereo microphone, it has a 5-pin XLR connection (most XLR audio connections are 3-pin monaural). A very well-made adapter cable is supplied that splits to two 3-pin XLR. The cable is 24" long, not including the connectors, which is quite excessive for a compact camera like the XA20.

This mic fits my needs perfectly. I bought a shorter xlr cable since the included 1 is quite long for on camera use. The signal is very clean. I have it set to narrow stereo and it is a happy medium of shotgun mic and stereo
