Hi all,
I'm currently investigating the possibility of improving the audio captured from wedding speeches by getting a direct feed from the PA equipment. The 'echoey' audio from the on-camera mic, doesn't really cut it anymore as far as I'm concered.
Obviously because the equipment can vary so much from venue to venue, I'm looking at the 'best' solution (or 2-3 solutions that will let me cover most bases). XLR, 6.5mm, 3.5mm? Do I need some sort of Y adapter or splitter?
During ceremonies, I use a lapel mic and capture it to a second camera, which essentially acts as a deck (I don't use the footage captured) and sync it up later. Is it feasible to use this 2nd camera to capture the speech audio? I've also got an iRiver IFP-899, but have found the mp3 compression unacceptable when compared to the camera.
I realise this could probably be posted under audio, but figured there's other cow members in events who've crossed this bridge before me.
Many thanks!
