Best wired lavalier mic.

The EMW is available in different connector combinations. If you got the XLR version, yes it will connect directly to the camera, and no it won't require a pre-amp (although it would require phantom power).
 
how long is the cable. the camera to subject distance is going to be around 15 feet. i have two 30 foot xlr cables. will i be able to plug the mic directly into those or will i need some sort of adapter.
 
I'm looking at the Countryman on B&H -- there are three available. Forgive me, but what is the difference between flat, peaked, and shelved frequency response?
 
The flat response is best for musical instruments, the shelved is best for voice when mounted outside clothing (has a bit of high end boost for voice), and the peaked is best for voice when mounted inside clothing (boosts high frequencies absorbed by clothing).

Anybody want to weigh in about real life experience with flat vs. shelved vs. peaked?
 
Have to say from my experience ( I have used MKE2, Sonotrim, Tram50, and COS11) the Countryman B6 is far and away the best lav I own. They sound great and the ability to hide them in plain sight makes them great for film work.

A lot is just opinion and just like there is no one perfect boom mic, different lavs are better for different situations and people. If I had only one lav to bring to set, the B6 is it (oh yeah, their waterproof too).

Best of luck
 
Whatever mic you get, these cases are really sweet! I have a couple of 'em. :thumbsup:
