Sound Equipment Notes

Microphones use an XLR cable to connect themselves to the cameras/mixers ect... And can also be used to create longer cables.



You can usually tell if a piece of equipment is designed for professional use because it will have an XLR plug socket.

A lot of the early sound equipment descended from telephone technology because they were the first pieces of equipment to manipulate sound.

The shotgun mics have two models, a longer microphone and a shorter microphone. The shorter version picks up a much more wider pattern of audio than the longer mic. The longer captures a more channeled audio.
