How to Set Up Two Lavalier Microphones

Video Transcript

"This next setup is using two Lavalier's. I think it's fairly obvious what this is going to be best for and that is a one on one interview situation. Maybe you have a reporter who's sitting down with somebody, you want to put a Lavalier on both those people and record both those channels. I have a Lavalier we've been working with here on my shoe mount attached right here. We also have another Lavalier attached to our second channel and we have two transmitters. The only thing important to remember about this setup is, since these are wireless systems, they can actually interfere with each other. I mean, we have two of them operating at once. So, definitely, read the manual on your Lavaliers and try to figure out how to change those channels just in case that issue comes up. Obviously, they're going to want to be on separate channels and not transmitting on the same one. Usually if you have two Lavaliers of the same brand and model that will make it a little easier because you definitely know just change the channel on one of them until you have a real clean sound and no interference between two of them. That's all about a two Lavalier setup; really good for when you need just two people talking like a one on one interview."
