Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this Lav mic be used with the RODELink wireless transmitter?

A: I don't think so. It looks like it has a different locking connector than the Rode. The Rodelink has a new model out. To be certain I would call Rode.

Q: 2. Is the plug a regular 3 pin XLR? Do you need extra modules? I already have phantom power.

A: Yes, the Electro-Voice RE-92L Miniature Cardioid Lavalier Condenser Microphone does have a standard size 3-pin XLR connector on the attached power module which allows it to be connected to a standard XLR mic input on a mixer, recorder, camera or amplifier that can supply phantom power.

Q: 3. Is the cable microphonic? I'm used to the DPA lavs where you can run your fingers up and down the cable and can't hear it. Does this mic exhibit the same quality?

A: This mic has a thin (1mm diameter) but robust Kevlar reinforced cable; flexible with minimum handling noise.

Q: 4. Any tips on storing the MKE1. Because the wire is so thin it can easily get tangled up while storing, even when you are careful. Anyone have best practices they can share for storing?

A: Some microphone manufacturers include a cable reel to help with storage, but nothing sold separately at this time. Once, I did see someone tackle this problem by using the reel from a roll of plumbing tape. It seemed to work surprisingly well.

Q: 10. What is the version or model number of the VT500 that has a 3.5mm plug compatible with the mic input of the Sony D-100 recorder or compatible with the mic input of a Panasonic GH5 camera? (Note also that the D-100 has a setting to enable plug-in power.)
