Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Anyone used it at a podium in a live environment?

A: I have used this as a primary mic mounted on a stand in front of talent and it works very well. Just add phantom power or a AA battery and set your gain the same way you would on any mic.

Q: 2. Will I have any issues using this with the Tascam 70D?

A: Nope. This has worked great for me with this combo. If you're using phantom power though, the 70D is a battery hog so I also use an external USB battery to power the 70D with phantom running the mic. I haven't tried the battery in the mic yet to compare results.

Q: 3. Is the arm's mounting spigot 5/8"?

A: Yes the Auray BA-XE4 Broadcast Arm with Integrated XLR Cable BH #AUBAXE4 includes a 5/8-27 Threaded Mic Stud.

Q: 4. Can this be connected directly into my Sony 7RII?

A: This battery-operated shotgun mic can connect directly to the Sony a7RII camera's 3.5mm mic input jack, with the included LMT-100 adapter cable.

Q: 5. What is an affordable Pre-amp to use with this mic for a Nikon D750?

A: I bought the Tascam DR060D MarkII and have been happy with it. I've never used a pre-amp or recorder so it was a bit of an uphill climb to learn a bit about audio production. Now that I've experimented with it for some time I'm quite comfortable with it. It eats up batteries so you definitely want to use rechargeable batteries. I bought a LifeCharge external 16,800 mAh external battery. There's also a power option that works off of house current.Curtis Judd is knowledgeable about audio and he reviews the 60D MkII. You can search for his channel on YouTube. He also has a video wherein he reviews several recorders options. Sorry B&H doesn't want links in my answer.Good luck.

Q: 6. Is it compatible with DSLR cameras?

A: Not exactly. The cable attached to the mic is XLR and that is typically run into a separate recorder such as a Zoom H4n or similar. I think you could get an XLR to headphone jack adapter to plug into a DSLR if you can choose the mic input on your camera to accept audio. It's recommended to attach this mic to a separate audio recorder and sync the footage and audio in post. This is a very good mic.

Q: 7. Does this include the permanent desk mount shown in photo? (Or just clamp)

A: Yes. There are two mounts included with the BA-XE4. One is the C-clamp mount and the other is the permanent flange mount.

Q: 8. How long does a single AA battery last in the mic?

A: While there isn't a published run time for AA, as they vary too much and also depend on the chemistry of the battery, on average you can expect around 50 hours (+/-)

Q: 9. Is the xlr to mini cord compatible with a 3.5mm jack? Like, could I just just use that cord and connect it straight to my camera through the microphone jack?

A: Yes that's what that cable is for. Mini is just another name for 3.5mm.

Q: 10. How much weight does it support?

A: This broadcast arm has a payload of 1.8 lbs.
