Location Sound 101 - with Derek Livesey 

Higher frequencies are more directional

When walking and booming could try booming towards the sky but usually you want to be directing it at the floor

Usually want the driest, crispest sound- unless the shot informs otherwise

Sound wave -> diaphragm -> converts magnetism to voltage -> amplified

Condenser mics inc. shotgun mics

Polar patterns:

Omnidirectional e.g radio mics, used in television, theatre as well

Cardioid

Figure of Eight e.g for two way conversation in radio, orchestra coverage

Shotgun

Camera ops listen, sound recordists watch - basically keep watching to anticipate when you need to move the boom to favour the next speaker.

Room tone should always be mono because dialogue is mono / Atmos is a choice

Keep notes!! (dope sheet/sound report) Rough notes on set, write up later that day

Get your kit sorted before you get on set

Get loads of tape (red, gaffer, masking, artists etc - good for marking radio mics etc)

Sample rate - like snapshots, as frames per second is for camera, aliasing is what happens when they don’t quite match up, we use 48kHz because the sample rate should be at least double what the human ear can hear (20kHz)

dBu and dbfs are two different things - be careful!

Wildtracks - record from the same place you were recording the dialogue, I.e don’t suddenly go stand right by the source, the sound quality will be completely different

Unveiling the Audiophile’s Delight: Sennheiser In-Ear Monitor IE 200 IEM Review

Out of the entire audio technology world, there is one great brand that has been standing at the forefront of relentless pursuit of sonic excellence, and this is Sennheiser. From its founding back in 1945 in Germany, Sennheiser has become one of the groundbreaking pioneers in the creation of a remarkable number of audio products from headphones to earbuds, always steps ahead and setting the highest standards with innovation and quality.

It is a brand that has long become a synonym to a perfectly engineered systems and uncompromising sound transference. What is raising this brand above and beyond the fierce competition in the audio technology market that continues to grow with each new invention?

There is not a single simple answer to this question, but it is the finely tuned combination of many factors: the utmost precision in design and engineering, coupled with a relentless drive to innovate, test and introduce the most cutting-edge and unprecedented solutions in delivering a flawless sound.

In short, it is Sennheiser’s dedication to perfection that will secure them a persistent spot on the lists of recommendations of any audiophile or a regular music lover. Today we explore one of their most recent releases — the Sennheiser In-Ear Monitor IE 200 IEM.

Among a variety of available options, we selected this product for review for a number of reasons. Why is this set worthy of attention, and what makes it different from the alternatives available on the market? Let us explore the latest Sennheiser creation and find out what makes IE 200 IEM worth setting the standards users will appreciate.

Product Specification

Several product specifications of the Sennheiser IE 200 IEM indicate certain details on product’s character and specifics, defining its customer use.

To begin with, a single 7mm dynamic driver present in the speaker’s design serves as the transducer. I believe that to be essential for audiophiles and music lovers, who are interested in hearing this or that classic piece of gear and don’t forgive the misrepresentation of the critical one, concerning the release as a result.

With regard to the product’s other properties, I am going to focus on the simplicity of the IE 200 design and elaborate its suitability and convenience for being used as analog if it is possible.

Being manufactured from lightweight plastic shells that also provide better comfort during the wearing process, the Sennehiser IE 200 In ear Monitor approach simultaneously increased the performance by making the item more robust.

Moreover, it has implemented the air pressure port to optimize the usage even further, which makes it suitable with all types of ear tips that keep the product in place and doesn’t affect the performance quality by decreasing the isolation and allow one to wear the speakers firmly secure.

The implementational component contains the MMCX connector and a 3.5mm jack on the other side of the 1.3m cable covered in fabric; additionally, the two type of ear tips – foam and silicone – are provided in three sizes to fit any shape and size of the ear. Finally, a carrying pouch also comes with the product.

In terms of specifications, I can claim, that the frequency response range of 6Hz to 20kHz, impedance of 18 ohms, and lightweight of 4.1g are acceptable.

It seems that with the IE 200, Sennheiser has introduced all of its proprietary technologies to provide the best possible sound quality, and the IEM does not disappoint in terms of its sounding experience. With a sound pressure level of 119dB, it delivers powerful and dynamic sound without distortions.

Additionally, the IEM has only 0.08% of harmonic distortion, meaning that the music is played with exceptional level precision and detail. As a result of all these efforts to provide an outstanding sounding experience, the low-end of IE 200 shines most brightly. It is full and deep as well as present and impactful.

Thus, no matter if you are listening to the concerto of a guitar or synthesizer, you will be able to experience the natural music and its discrete details. In addition to its outstanding sound delivery, IE 200 has a universal design that can be fitted into almost any ear.

According to the Sennheiser IE 200 manual, its weight is only 4 grams, so it is comfortable even to wear them for a long period. In such a way, the characteristics of sounding and design make IE 200 appealing to both experienced music listeners and those who are just discovering the possibilities of in-ear headphones.

Finally, IE 200 IEM has affordable prices, so those who prioritize quality in audio but cannot spend massive sums of money on expensive models would please both factors and choose it.

Conclusion

Focusing on every detail from its lightweight and customizable construction to its wide frequency response range and minimum total harmonic distortion, the IE 200 is made to deliver high-quality sounds at a lower budget.

Be a professional musician who demands a perfect sound match on any music type or a typical listener who just wants to hear his favorite songs without any interruption – Sennheiser IE 200 is the best match to meet all of your requirements.

Extensive treble, warm and forward midrange, and a decent mid-bass bump result in a musical sound that attracts listeners become more and more absorbed, immersed, and drawn, making it possible to discover something you had previously missed in your favorite tracks. The combination of the top-notch build with improved ergonomics and constant sound quality justifies “IE 200 ” as the most worthy contender in the modern market workplace. Thus, what are you going to choose in the end? Just try to avoid shrugging off the fact that Sennheiser IE 200 is not only balanced headphones but a piece of the purest quality and professional sound, cables, and integrity that can undoubtedly compliment your personality. Be the best you can, and you will see that mistakes you usually make disappear.

I am super fascinated by metro 🚇 sounds! Recording them in every city i go to is an absolute must. The most fascinating metro sounds on my website atm are the Binaural Metro Ambience sounds from Athens! There is one recording that fascinated me in particular: You can here the metro leaving while the sound turns into a ln amazing flanger effect. I couldn't stop smiling when I heard that! I will post the link in my story. You will hear it in the preview when you jump over to the download page. #yourfreesounds #videocreators #sounddesign #audiosforedits #soundeffects #auditory #filmmaking #fieldrecording #gamesound #locationsound #berlín #podcasters #zoomcreators #postproduction #fieldrecordist #inthefield #bedroomproducer #microphone #sounddesigning #sfx #royaltyfreesounds #filmmakers #indiefilmmaking #indiefilmlab #ableton #musicproducers https://www.instagram.com/yourfreesounds/p/CZOqTcesrqX/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s finally out! Go watch @dearwhitepeople @netflix ! I was getting sworn in as a US citizen while being at the mandatory meeting on zoom on my phone in my blazer pocket. I feel proud, honored and blessed for having worked my first union show with @iatselocal695 representing #woc in a white male dominated job on one of my favorite shows on Netflix with a lead character who I definitely relate to played by the beautiful @loganlaurice… and as cherry on top: with music I dreamed and danced to in the 90s. I’ve danced since I was 4 and recorded music since the age of 16. This was a dream come true… if I didn’t get Covid midst shoot, I would have thought I dreamed it all… 😂 To the creators @justin_simien and @jaclynpmoore: It was an honor and a pleasure to bring you your IFB’s every day. Amazing work!!! 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 🥂 … thiiiis is how we dooo iiiiit… 🎶 🎬 🎤 🎧 🎭 #audio #sound #dearwhitepeople #netflix #iatse #productionsound #locationsound #soundmixing #boomop #soundutility #y16a (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUI_0x7PGNJ/?utm_medium=tumblr
