Microphones Wireless Lapel Microphone System:Azden 100LT UHF Review
Joe McCleskey March 2004 » Next Image Previous Image «
Azden, a long-recognized name in the low-budget wireless microphone
market, offers the 100LT UHF Wireless Lapel Microphone System, a basic
kit that includes a lapel microphone, a transmitter and a very small
receiver. Aimed at videographers who want to incorporate wireless
microphones in their productions, but don't want to sell a car or take
out a second mortgage to pay for it, the 100LT kit is best suited for
short-range hobbyist work that doesn't require top-notch audio
fidelity.Kit ComponentsOpening the box, we find that along with a 10BT
transmitter, a 100UPR receiver and an EX-503 electret condenser
microphone, the kit includes a short (3-foot) 1/8-inch monaural cable,
a small tool for making adjustments to frequency and output levels, a
pair of Velcro strips with adhesive backing, a slim 8-page manual and
no batteries. Here's how it's designed to work: the talent clips the
microphone on and plugs the m

ike cable into the transmitter, which clips onto a belt or pocket.
Using the supplied Velcro strips, you mount the tiny receiver (which
is about the size of a pack of cards) onto your camera or tripod and
plug the 1/8-inch cable into the microphone input jack. Voila, you're
ready to shoot.While the setup of this system is simple enough, we
noticed right away that the Velcro method of securing the receiver to
the camera is a kludge at best. If you're like us, then you're not
crazy about the idea of messing up the clean su
http://www.chinese-microphone.com/Wireless-Microphones.html rface of
your camera by sticking an adhesive Velcro strip to it. Also, it's
difficult to find a way to operate the camera hand-held with the
Velcro-mounted unit, but tripod-mounted camcorders will work well. A
useful accessory upgrade would be a shoe mount, assuming your
camcorder has an accessory shoe to mount it on.Obviously, you need a
camcorder with a microphone jack to use the 100LT system. A less
obvious but equally important necessity is a headphone jack, because
all low-budget wireless microphone systems are subject to interference
and signal loss. Azden, aware of this necessity, placed a headphone
jack on the 100UPR receiver. Without this all-important feature, you'd
have no way of knowing if a hiss, pop or loss of signal were marring
your program's audio. You'll still need to use the headphone jack on
your camcorder, because the headphone jack on the receiver only
monitors audio to the receiver, not what's being recorded in the
camera.On TapeTo test the 100LT system, we clipped the microphone to
the lapel of a willing participant and stuck the receiver to a tripod
holding a Sony Digital8 camcorder. With headphones on, we picked up a
strong signal as long as we stayed in the studio with the camera and
didn't move around too much. With the talent's body facing away from
the camera, we did encounter brief loss of signal, but as long as
there was nothing between the transmitter and receiver, the signal was
strong. The receiver has two antennas, but don't be fooled: it is not
a true diversity receiver. The 100LT system can switch between 63
chann

els, so you will almost certainly be able to find a clean channel,
even in large cities with big media markets. We switched through a few
channels in our very small market and found all of them to be
clear.Moving outside, we noticed a similar picture: so long as there
was nothing in between the transmitter and receiver, the signal was
good, but as soon as anything got in the way, the signal began to
break up. This means that if you're planning to use this system in
your productions, you have to plan accordingly and coach your talent.
The range of the unit outdoors is not terribly long; we noticed an
increase in sign http://www.chinese-microphone.com/Wireless-Microphones.html
al loss at about 30 yards. Interference was more noticeable at this
range as well, with noise levels rising sharply at about the same
distance. Panning, tilting or otherwise moving the camera also brought
a notable drop in signal strength.Audio recorded with the 100LT was
quite good--assuming you are getting a strong radio signal. To be
certain, audio professionals will find plenty of fault with the
quality of the sound, but the Azden 100LT delivers an acceptable, even
pleasant vocal tone, a little bit flat and lacking in resonance, but
more than acceptable for hobbyist use. The fact that the 100LT places
the microphone closer to the talent's mouth in itself greatly improves
the quality of hobbyist videos.In SummaryWhile it does have its
drawbacks--the tendency to lose its signal in imperfect conditions
being the worst--the 100LT sounds pretty good and is a very compact
solution that will fit right in your camera bag. With the proper
precautions, the improvement in the audio quality of home videos shot
with the 100LT compared to just using the on-camera microphone is
significant. We do not, however, recommend the 100LT for any kind of
professional use. The big advantage of this system is that it offers
63 selectable channels,

which will almost guarantee that you can find a clear channel. If you
can find this microphone system for significantly less that the MSRP,
it might be worth it, but we feel that $450 is excessive. »
