(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 06, 2008 ) Chicago, IL… For any broadcast news operation, nothing is of greater importance than delivering the news accurately and in timely fashion. For the photographers and reporters of Chicago’s WMAQ-TV NBC 5 and WSNS Telemundo—owned and operated by NBC Universal—re-recording the voice tracks to accompany video shot in the field was a cumbersome procedure that was inhibiting the entire news gathering/editing process. For Edward S. Mann, Manager, Technical Operations, News for the veritable Chicago stations, there had to be a better way. There was, and he found the solution with MXL’s USB.006 USB/Cardioid Condenser Microphone, of which he ultimately purchased 39 units.
“With our MXL mics,” said Mann, “we now connect directly to the laptop computers and record straight onto the timeline of our non-linear editing software. It’s just amazing how well these mics are working in the field. The process of re-tracking the voice had been a failure point in the news editing process for quite some time due to the constant disconnecting and re-connecting of the camera. With these USB microphones, it’s a night and day difference that makes the entire process smoother—enabling our reporters to do better work faster. Our new microphones enable us to streamline the news edits from the field and get the information back to the station and on the air.”
“During our evaluation,” Mann said, “we tested three USB microphones side-by-side and the MXL USB.006 was significantly better than the others. The audio quality is very good—comparable to what we achieve in the studio. We’re very happy with our purchase and I’ve conveyed my enthusiasm to other stations in the group.”
The MXL USB.006 and the newest .008 USB/Cardioid Condenser Microphones Feature a 20 Hz-20 kHz frequency response, large gold diaphragm, pressure-gradient condenser capsule and a 3-position analog attenuation pad,. The microphoneÂ’s digital section features a 16-bit Delta Sigma A/D converter with a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz. Behind the grill is an LED that shows the microphone is active and correctly oriented.
