WEBVTT 00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:07.600 So, at long last, we are finally doing something that we haven't done before. 00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:13.440 We are revealing the identity of the cameraman. It's this guy. No, I'm 00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:17.920 kidding. Actually, we're getting a microphone for NCX Tech Tips. We're 00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:24.480 getting a proper microphone that isn't a little uh weird like twinky thing that I 00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:27.119 clip to my uh clip to my shirt. This is 00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:32.079 a proper lapel mic from Sennheiser. It's the 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:34.239 EW112P and it is a clip-on microphone, 00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:38.320 condenser, omniirectional. Okay. So, Oh, okay. Yeah. It includes a receiver, a 00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:43.920 body pack transmitter, as well as a clip-on mic. It runs off four AA 00:00:40.559 --> 00:00:47.120 batteries, and it has output cables, 3.5 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:48.960 mm jack, and XLR. I actually don't know 00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:53.199 all the details of this. Uh the cameraman helped me pick something 00:00:51.120 --> 00:01:00.879 because he is kind of the expert on all of this stuff. But uh we have the G the 00:00:57.160 --> 00:01:02.800 PG3. So PG3 here. So we have a setup 00:01:00.879 --> 00:01:05.760 that looks like this. So that's what why don't we just open it? Let's just open 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:11.760 it. Forget this. It doesn't even come sealed. I was very surprised for a a 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:14.240 microphone system that retails for $900. 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:19.600 I had expected it to like I don't know have shrink wrap on it or 00:01:16.119 --> 00:01:21.680 something. But uh okay, here we go. Wow, 00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:26.880 that is a heck of an instruction manual. I hope this is in a lot of languages. 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:29.840 Yes, it is. Okay, so the languages are 00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:33.200 available are nine. And let's see how long the English section Oh, that's not 00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:37.439 too bad. Okay, cuz I was going to say like an instruction manual this long for 00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:41.600 how to plug in a microphone. That would be pretty bad. Okay, so I don't know. 00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:46.479 This isn't English. English is the second language in there. Oh yeah, Sennheiser. Of course, it's German 00:01:44.479 --> 00:01:50.880 first. Okay, next thing. Additional information. 00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:56.000 Okay, some more additional information in 00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:58.840 German. And here it is, our expensive 00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:02.439 new microphone system. So, I'll have to figure out what 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:09.200 everything in here does. This appears to be a 00:02:05.880 --> 00:02:12.080 box. Inside, we probably put some 00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:16.160 batteries. Okay. See if I can figure this out. Yeah. Hey, batteries. There 00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:21.840 they go. Okay. So, the batteries go in this way and then that way. So, this is 00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:25.280 either the transmitter or the receiver. They both look the same. So, Oh, no. No, 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:30.879 they're not the same. Okay. Okay. I got it. I got it. I got it. I'm on 00:02:27.640 --> 00:02:32.640 this. See, computer stuff unboxing is a 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:36.239 lot more comfortable for me because I already know most of this stuff and I 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:41.040 don't actually have to try to learn on camera because learning on camera is 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:46.239 very difficult. So, uh, okay. Here. So, this one is the transmitter because the 00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:50.640 mic line is here. I can also mute it or I guess the cameraman could run up and 00:02:48.160 --> 00:02:56.319 mute me if he felt like being a jerk. And uh then we've also got the 00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:58.000 microphone itself which is here. So, 00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:04.560 this is what I'll be using now instead of that horrible thing. Uh there's a 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:06.400 little clip as well as a little a little 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:10.080 cute little cover for the microphone. I wish I had a knife. Oh. Oh, wait. I do 00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:15.599 have a knife. Oh, yeah. I have another thing to reveal in this unboxing. I have 00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:17.400 a new toy. I have a knife on my keychain 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:22.400 now. Look at that. I got it at House of Knives. Probably spent way too much for 00:03:19.760 --> 00:03:25.840 it there, but it was kind of an impulse buy. I was like, "Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:29.840 House of Knives. I need a knife." So, I went in and I got the knife. Okay, there 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:34.640 we go. So, I got a little cover for the uh for the microphone. Go ahead and plug 00:03:31.760 --> 00:03:38.400 that in there or cover that there. Okay, there we go. So, it looks like that. 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:43.360 There's my microphone. And it goes in that little clip somehow. Maybe we'll do 00:03:40.959 --> 00:03:46.840 that, too. It's all made of metal and everything. I was expecting it to be 00:03:45.239 --> 00:03:52.560 plastic. Okay. 00:03:48.920 --> 00:03:53.879 Um, so yeah, I don't know. Maybe this 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:58.439 goes through here. 00:03:56.439 --> 00:04:05.360 No. Oh, I see. So, it has to go through this 00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:07.280 twisted coil somehow, I think. You know 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:13.239 what? I'll figure that out later. Okay. So, anyway, we got our mic plugs in 00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:18.720 here. There. Let's keep this simple. There we go. Mic there. Oh, and 00:04:16.880 --> 00:04:23.840 it even screws on. Look at that. All right. And then on this side, we 00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:31.160 have the 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:33.840 receiver, which goes like this. 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:37.440 Yep. And that goes into the cameraman's camera. if he had a way more awesome 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:40.960 camera, which he doesn't. So, we're actually going to use Okay, I better 00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:45.040 unscrew that before I try and unplug it. There we go. So, we're actually gonna 00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:49.759 use this one. So, all it is is just a normal uh normal like 3 and 12 mil 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:54.960 headphone jack. So, you go ahead and unplug it or plug it in here and then 00:04:52.479 --> 00:05:00.479 plug that into the cameraman's camera. And then in theory, we are going to have 00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:05.759 much improved audio in our future episodes of NCIX Tech Tips. I can try 00:05:03.280 --> 00:05:11.280 and turn this on, but honestly, I don't know how. So, yeah, I guess I'm not 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:14.960 really going anywhere with this. There the announcement today. We have a new 00:05:12.960 --> 00:05:20.160 microphone for NCX Tech Tips. Be excited. The audio quality will be much 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:20.160 improved. We hope.
