Recording corporate discussion - 4 people
  • tubefingerstubefingers

    Hi,

    can anyone suggest best audio option to record a 30 minute discussion amongst 4 people?

    Kit we own: 2 x sets of wireless lav mics 1 x tuner and hand held wireless mic 1 x zoom h4n

    The shoot: one locked off wide shot - journalist on one chair and 3 x people on sofa - arranged in L shape one roving camera for head/shoulders of person talking I've attached a still of the previous wide shot

    We have budget for any necessary kit for the shoot we don't want anyone holding the hand held mic

    really appreciate any suggestions

    Thanks

    Luke

    Everyone should have their own wireless lav. So, rent two more wireless lavs and a small 4 channel mic mixer. Connect the mic receivers to the mixer, mix output to the Zoom.

    Actually shooting such things is possible using cheap wired lavs. They sit on very massive chair and sofa, so easy to hide wires. But it is usually best to record everyone to separate channel, if possible.

    +1@ vitaliy - use a 4 track recorder
