So we so that the MS setting was not great in noisy places since it picks up a wide angle.
you can improve that by change the pick up pattern (Page 22*)
A better set-up maybe for your interviews are the XY figure. (Page 20) You will look like a TV pro, holding a mic between your subject and yourself.
1- Screw on the handle
2-Talk into the mic, facing the window with the VU meters, also called the display.
3- The level display for the recording level, is on the same side than the XY microphones. To adjust your volume to your subject's voice, you can stand side by side and ask your subject to speak and get a reading. Or you can get a level by facing your subject and start talking into the mic at the same volume than your subject's voice.
4- Turn the window towards your interviewee. (The older H2 Model had a bi directional setting but not this one.
5-Speak loud enough so the H2n can capture your voice without having to tunr it back to your face. This will avoïd handling noise.
Remember to ALSO record your interview with the Rode Shotgun mic on the boom pole, or with the Lav (Lavalier or clip-on mic) , if your subject does not move too much ( like a joggler or an acrobat for example.)
Double check your DXA set-up as it can be changed by accident. (Always on M for Mono )
During the excursion, I will be on call in case of trouble: 010 8659 1446
Enjoy the process, a relaxed, methodical focus will help your set-up
and help your subject relax as well...
All the best,
Bertrand
