How to Record Lavalier Interview Audio on a $200 Budget | YouTube Audio Tips

On this episode of Sound 101, Deity Steve takes us through his #challenge winning interview audio kit from the $200 challenge episode! Steve chose to use two V.Lavs and an on-camera mixer to capture interview audio, instead of Andrew's single V-Mic D3 kit with a long TRS cable.

Steve's Kit
Deity V.Lav 2x $100 https://amzn.to/3hKeRu8
Comica Mixer $59.00 https://amzn.to/3huVHZY
AAA Battery Charger $16 https://amzn.to/3guNKTw

Recording interview audio is always a challenge but this setup allows you to get 2 talent set up with lavaliers and record great quality audio on a very low budget. The V.Lavs are hardwired so you don't have to worry about wireless interference - this is a foolproof interview audio setup.

Steve talks us through the specifications needed for the on-camera mixer, the best way to set up a two person interview, and Andrew also helps out with the broadcast loop - a neat way of attaching a lav if you are okay with it being visible - often used on news and press junket situations.

Let us know in the comments below if you have a new #challenge for Andrew and Steve!
