Dammit I thought I did reply, but apparently I didn't hit send or something. Now to type it again:Shrooblord wrote:OK. The SL300 has a unidirectional and omnidirectional setting. So if I picked that, I could do both, which is only a plus, right? I did see one review from someone where the SL300 had some kind of off static running all the time, but the video's creator did note it may be his equipment was faulty. And even so, I could just record like half a minute of 'silence', picking up only the background noise, and then just copy-paste that over each other for the full length of whatever I'm doing, except in reverse phase to cancel out the static noise, right? I mean, isn't static a certain form of sinusoidal wave?
Also, you say you would get the SL300, but I should get the SL150 - is this because you're more focussed on the other uses of the microphone as opposed to singing and recording just speech?
The static is only a result of either fault equipment or poor mic placement. As long as you keep it away from electronics (your computer for instance) you should hardly get any static; the noise cancellation side should also help. Reverse phasing the static won't really help though, as it would probably leave an awkward frequency gap in your recording.
You never did specify what the SL150 is. Is it unidirectional or omnidirectional? I merely gathered that the SL150 was a unidirectional mic by a quick Google search. Whichever you choose, I would prioratise unidirectionalism.
