‘sound photographs’

Moose Alaska © Copyright by Ch. Breier Moose Alaska © Copyright by Ch. Breier


I've had something like this in my head for years.
A photograph with a sound file, where you not only see the surroundings, but also hear the sound as it sounded exactly in that place and at the time of the picture/recording !

I wish I had done something like this during all my past expeditions in Canada, Alaska, Scandinavia ...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am in no way a professional when it comes to field recording, there are much better people to find on the net!
This is just a list of what I will be using nothing more ...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I haven't worked with field recorders for a long time. But I have a project in mind. Thats why I bought some sound equipment !

I wont go with the expensive Nagra or so...

Sound Devices ,ZOOM & Rode and the like do the job for me...

 Zoom H5 Field Recorder

ZOOM H5 © Copyright by ZOOM ZOOM H5 © Copyright by ZOOM

A nice backup recorder !

Four tracks of simultaneous recording and interchangeable mic capsules make the H5 flexible and powerful

ZOOM H5 © Copyright by ZOOM ZOOM H5 © Copyright by ZOOM

The preamp of the H5 is not the best but for normal sounds it is fully ok. Only for the very quiet environments it is not quiet enough, you can hear preamp noise.

The H5  portable ‘Handy Recorder’ is designed for multitrack live event recording, broadcast, or ENG situations. It provides over fifteen hours of operation with 2x AA alkaline battery cells, and can simultaneously record up to four tracks of audio. The include shock-mounted microphone capsule allows X/Y audio capture up to 140dB SPL, whilst optional and interchangeable audio input capsules provide a number of differing input methods.
Recording directly to 16MB to 2GB SD card or 4GB to 32GB SDHC card, the Hrecords up to 24-bit/96kHz in BWF-compliant WAV format, or 48 to 320kbps in MP3 format. Internal processing allows to employ low-cut filtering, compression, limiting.

It's so small that you can always have it with you, it's very beneficial not have to carry the big set all, the time !

For my ZOOM H5 I have so far the following microphone capsules they also work with the my Zoom F4 & F1

© Copyright by ZOOM © Copyright by ZOOM

The MSH-6 capsule for the H5 contains a unidirectional forward-facing microphone element as well as a bi-directional, side-facing microphone element to capture audio otherwise known as ‘mid-side’. The compatible recorder’s MS (mid-side) decoder allows the capture of a stereo image that can be later adjusted

© Copyright by ZOOM © Copyright by ZOOM

The XYH-5 capsule is designed for live broadcast and podcast applications and provides two unidirectional condenser microphones, each fixed at a 90degree angle. Capable of handling input levels up to 140dB SPL, this capsule is also well equipped to capture audio from live concerts or electronic news gathering (ENG) applications.

© Copyright by ZOOM © Copyright by ZOOM

Zoom EXH-6 - Dual XLR/TRS Combo Input Capsule for
The EXH-6 from Zoom adds two additional XLR/TRS combo inputs to the Zoom recorder. This makes the H5 capable of recording up to four external signals simultaneously. Capable of handling either mic or line-level signals, each input is equipped with its own preamp and -20 dB pad. But his module does not provide phantom power.


© Copyright by ZOOM © Copyright by ZOOM

SGH-6 Shotgun capsule adds a professional-quality hyperdirectional (that is, highly directional) microphone to the H1,H5 and H6, making it the perfect audio recorder for anyone working in film, video or live theater, or for ENG (electronic news gathering) applications. The SGH-6 Shotgun capsule is compatible with the Zoom H8, H6, and H5 Handy Recorders, F8n, F4 and F1 Field Recorders, U-44 Handy Audio Interface, and Q8 Handy Video Recorder as well as the ECM-3 and ECM-6 extension cables for Zoom microphone capsules.

Rycote Lyre suspension system onboard with internal spacing guide
Lightweight skeleton handle with 3/8” thread mount, Mogami cable with Neutrik and Switchcraft XLR connectors, Wind Shield and Shock Mount System. The RØDE Blimp is a complete windshield and shock mounting accessory for theRode and any third party shotgun microphone up to 325mm (12 ¾”) in length. Now featuring the Rycote® Lyre suspension system, the Blimp provides the ultimate in microphone suspension and isolation. Constructed from a single piece of hard-wearing thermoplastic, the Lyre provides superior acoustic suspension to traditional elastic solutions, and will never wear out, sag or snap. The Blimp’s handle has also been completely redesigned, reducing the product weight significantly, while increasing the ergonomics for handheld use. Housed inside the grip is a heavy-duty Mogami cable which splits via a junction box to a highly-flexible thin cable inside the Blimp, to minimise the transference of vibration to the microphone. The Blimp attaches to any standard boompole via 3/8" thread attachment at the base.

Rode NTG1

  Shot Gun Microphone

© Copyright by Rode © Copyright by Rode

The NTG1 is a lightweight condenser shotgun microphone, designed for professional applications in film, video, television and broadcast. Its full frequency response, low noise and transparency make it ideal in a range of applications, including filmmaking, voice-over and streaming, while its low weight (105 grams) makes it an ideal boom microphone. It also features a switchable high-pass filter for added flexibility.

Because of its high sensitivity, the Rode NTG1 can generate high output levels without adding too much gain to your preamps; this helps reduce the self-noise for the preamps and delivers cleaners sounds.


Key Features:
Premium shotgun microphone
Low noise and full frequency response
Highly directional supercardioid polar pattern
High-pass filter (80Hz)

Lightweight (105 grams) and easy to use

 Sennheiser MK2002 binaural microphone system

© Copyright by Ch. Breier © Copyright by Ch. Breier

Binaural audio recording is arguably the most realistic method of capturing audio by creating an accurate 3D-audio experience. The basic concept relies on the acoustic shadow created by the human head, which allows capture of audio directionality along all-three axis, X, Y, and Z , using two microphones. Each microphone is placed into the ear canal of a dummy head, or, as with this Sennheiser MK2002, within the outer ear of the dummy head or my (human) head.

The Professional Fluid Video System, Aluminium with Sliding Plate makes the job even easier, thanks to its long list of design features and high-functioning capabilities. This tripod with fluid video head gives a professional quality pan and tilt, extra easy set up, and the freedom to collapse and tidy away into a neat, compact package when you’re done.

© Copyright by Manfrotto © Copyright by Manfrotto

This piece of kit consists of a fluid video head, and a pro video tripod with a mid-level spreader, giving you everything you need in one box. The mount features a 75mm half ball, so you’ll be able to get into the perfect position in a jiffy. This tripod with fluid video head can even support wider HDSLR and interchangeable lens cameras. The fluid drag system counterbalances loads up to 4kg, but it’s capable of holding normal loads up to 7kg, so one never have to worry about wobbling from one angle to the next, whatever equipment you’re using.
Linking the head to accessories like external monitors and microphones is a doddle too. Two easy link connectors give one the flexibility to attach whatever the job demands. And when the mount is up, it’s totally secure. It can support up to 20kg, making it super strong, all down to its die cast aluminium crown, and rigid two-stage design. The legs lock firmly in place at just a flick of a handle, spiked rubber feet and rubber overshoes keep a steady grip even on tricky terrain, and it’s versatile enough to pair with a number of different dollies.

Extremely important pieces of equipment are fur windscreens in all variations!

These DEAD CAT windscreens are available in many variations. 

They are not cheap at all, but they are worth every penny!

Because without them every recording outside will be destroyed by wind noise! 

These furs prevent this, more or less well!

Especially here in Germany you can buy such things in top condition for a fraction of the new price. Even then it will not be cheap at all but cheaper than new for sure and way better for our environment...

For all the other hard to get used, there is a very good store in Germany  Thomann !
