sanveer Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 What do you think will be the best Reporter Mic for doing episodes on Mobile Phones? The phone (s) will be Android Phones. I like the Audio Technica AT9913iS (like the Rode VideoMic Me) but it does not have a long cable. I though of the new Rode Mic i-XLR, but that is only for iPhones. Any suggestions?

Sekhar Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Did you just try the built-in mic? I recorded an event once on my Google Nexus 5 phone with the built-in mic and the RecForge II app, and the quality was surprisingly good. It wasn't quite as flat as my Audio Technica AT-897, but for voice it was great. I suggest you try that first before investing...would be super portable too. sanveer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the sound can be tweaked or cleaned up a little in post too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum MacPhail Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Appreciate its not what you are asking for directly, but I picked up a Rode Smartlav+ mic the other day for lightweight documentary projects. The sound quality is excellent for the price and it did a great job on the project I bought it for. Recorded straight into my iPhone and it exported WAV files out the other side very easily. sanveer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Calum. I picked up a few JK MIC-J 044s. It's an excellent mic for the price. I will use it indoors I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
