Curtis Judd | Voice Technologies Waterproof Pro Lavaliers - VT500 & 403WA Microphones @curtisjudd | Uploaded November 2020 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
In today’s episode, we have a look at and listen to the Voice Technologies VT500WA and VT403WA. These professional level microphones have a major advantage over most others - they are waterproof with IPX 7 certification meaning they can withstand being under water at up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. So if you’re filming around water, these may be a good option for you. The non-waterproof version of the VT-500 has been a staple in my kit for the last 3 years and is holding up great!
If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses at school.learnlightandsound.com including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. Our latest course is Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini.
