LyxPro CMG-50 Shotgun Microphone with Shock mount and Windscreen

Got one today and it DID NOT WORK in any way. Just a bunch of white noise.

My audio was never great so I know I needed a shotgun mic overhead, but most are way to expensive. The LyxPro CMG-50 was right at my price point (affordable!) and so far the quality is excellent. It's very sensitive and directional and picks up my voice just fine. I have it overhead about 24-32" away. Improved the quality of my videos immediately. I may have to get another one! -GToneGuitars

It hasn't worked on the sound nature of our recordings by any stretch of the imagination.

Try not to do what I did, which is an attempt to save a couple of bucks by purchasing a crude item. The mic I got had some quite awful foundation murmur, and the sound isn't usable, essentially not so much for my application. Perhaps this would work assuming you've shoot where there's experience commotion, and so on to cover the terrible murmur, yet for talking head interviews, you can fail to remember it. Save time, set aside cash, and get yourself a decent item like an Audio Technical AT875R.

This functioned admirably for my better half's broadcast
