Re: Which Wireless Mic to Use for Nightclubs?? And what Sensitivity Settings??



Pardon my tone but if you want the voice to be louder (I assume you mean louder than the background environment) and the quality to be better then I don't think you've recorded your voice "fine" in these environments.  Your results seem to be in line with what people here have been telling you. 

 


Well, as far as I can tell, you've described a lavaliere microphone.  If it clips to the clothing, that's basically what it is. 


As far as the settings go, you should set the sensitivity low enough that you don't clip (overdrive) the transmitter.  Until you experiment to see just how loud the signal is when in use...  With that particular piece of kit there isn't a "magic" number to use.


The ME4 is a cardioid mic so you should try to point it towards the voices and away from the other sounds.   Also note that it has a max spl spec of 120db.  I can imagine you getting into that territory with someone yelling into it at close range (like inches) over a loud DJ. But I have no idea what it sounds like when being overdriven. 


btw, this video is kind of awesome.
