[MacDV] Clip On Microphones

[Tim Selander]

The subject of mics is very subjective -- everyone has favorites 
for different reasons. The mic I have the most experience with is 
the Sony ECM-77 lav mic. Very small, very good quality audio. 
It's the main mic we use when doing interviews for broadcast. You 
can find them used in the $150 to $250 range. The older ECM-44 
also sounds very good, but has a much larger (noticeable) 
capsule. I picked up one of those used for about $80, I think.
