Shure MVL-LAV Review

[@BrianQuan]

Hey Mark! Just picked these up after watching your review for use with my DJI Mics. Thanks.

[@storybabble]

Fantastic. Thanks for the comment.

[@B_22_5]

nice review, you deserve more subs with this content!

[@storybabble]

Thanks. I guess KZbin requires me to play the long game. Hopefully I’ll break through eventually.

[@DannyVega1]

Nice review. Thanks

[@storybabble]

Thanks, man. That means a lot.

[@mellowman8695]

great in-depth review

[@storybabble]

Much appreciated!

[@nolanbesserer36]

Both very interested in the mic and a good friend :) thank you for the great review!

[@storybabble]

Anytime

You might also consider mixing the shotgun audio with the lab audio. I find highly directional lav mic audio to be a bit too artificial when paired up with a scene where the subject is speaking at a distance. Not enough environment audio. You should do a video on using this technique!

[@storybabble]

I have done both at the same time and you are right, the results are often better by mixing the two. Great point.

[@willarias]

Great vid, sir

[@storybabble]

Thanks man. I appreciate that.

[@aerofart]

I’m listening to the difference through a decent set of headphones and to my ears, the built-in mic has a boosted low end and is definitely not as detailed in the vocals range as the lapel. Also, I can hear the resonance of the DJI mic enclosure, which imparts a cheap boxy quality to the audio from the built-in mic. Definitely an improvement with the Shure MVL. I wonder if the internal mic and the external mic jack go through the same preamp and ADC, I sense a bit of signal conditioning on the internal mic, whereas the external mic seems not to be taking a more direct route to the ADC.

[@storybabble]

Great observations. I wish my ears were better tuned to hear everything. Audio engineering is very much an art that I appreciate and wish I was better at.

[@aerofart]

@@storybabble For sure

Out of curiosity, why would you use an external lavalier mic (MVL) with the DJI system? Also, I’m looking for a lavalier mic for speeches. Does this one pickup shirt movement, heavy Ps, Bs, and heavy breathing? Do you recommend this for speeches given to large audiences?

[@storybabble]

Are use an external lav mic to hide it from view. Shirt movement is always a concern, especially when filming alone and it is not being monitored. I chose the MLV because my other labs didn’t work with the DJI system. The MVL is “good enough” for speech. Of course, each voice is different, so all I can do is suggest you purchase from somewhere you can return it if needed. Good luck.

Subscriber 134 here. Lol. Looking to use the same setup for the DJI MIC and SHURE MVL MIC.

[@storybabble]

I still use it all the time and love it. Hope you do too.

[@IndianKD]

Nice jokes ))))

[@storybabble]

Thanks Roman.

[@R3user-p5q]

The Shure sounds better.

[@storybabble]

I think so too.

[@urbansnowtrax3733]

The audio in this entire video is awful and crackling. 😳

[@storybabble]

I’ll check that out. Thanks.
