Q: 4. To synch sound to footage shot on a Canon DSLR would this mic work via a zoom recorder?

A: The Audix SCX1/HC Studio Condenser Microphone Kit is a good option for recording audio separately into a Zoom recorder. Sync will likely have to be done manually in editing as most DSLR cameras and some Zoom models do not offer timecode onboard. It is possible to record timecode as an audio track on each device, which can be decoded by certain editing softwares for sync, if you use a device such as the Tentacle Sync E mkII Timecode Generator with Bluetooth 5.0 to feed both the camera and recorder the same timecode: https://bhpho.to/3Lj6m8W

Q: 7. How does this mic compare to the Shure SM58?

A: The audio specs for the frequency response range and sensitivity of f50S and SM58 are fairly close. Both mics can handle very loud sounds but the SM58 will retain more clarity at the very highest sound pressure levels. In terms of construction, both mics are made of metal and are very durable. Both mics include a pouch and mic clip. There is a difference in the length of the manufacturer's warranty. The f50S has a 3-year warranty and the SM58 has a 2-year warranty. The f50S has an on/off switch and there is a SM58S model (B&H # SHSM58S) that includes an on/off switch. There is also a difference in price between the Audix and Shure mics which may also be a consideration.

Q: 9. What is the best choice to small school auditorium, the omnidirectional or Hipercardiode ?

A: Omni-directional mics are more susceptible to feedback, especially in smaller spaces. A Hypercardioid microphone usually provide the best gain before feedback ratio, however they are not very forgiving and strategic placement is critical in order to get satisfactory results. One nay consider a cardioid polar pattern as they are more forgiving; not too broad to pick overly pick up background noise, but not so directional to the point that a user must be right on the mic for an audible recording or amplification.

Q: 10. Is there a hanging XY mount for these mics?

A: No, I have not found one yet.
