    GIR53 - Podcast Recording & Social Distancing: Rode SC6-L Mobile Interview Kit
    Jul 21 2020
    Welcome back to another episode of Gear In Review where hosts Bobby Rettew and Mark Berry discuss podcast interviews while complying to social distancing protocols. We are reviewing the Rode SC6-L Mobile Interview Kit. This is an exciting new, portable interview kit equipped with two lavaliere microphones that can be used with your iPhone lighting connection.  This episode focuses how this technology can support the healthcare marketer capturing quality audio while using very portable equipment for interviews inside a hospital or healthcare system. It also discusses how these devices make content collection easier along with strategies to maintain social distancing.  From the manufacturer: Bundled together for the convenience of iOS users, the Rode SC6-L Mobile Interview Kit includes the SC6-L Mobile Interface, two smartLav+ lapel microphones, and accessories such as storage pouches, mic clips, and windshields. The SC6-L interface facilitates the recording of 24-bit / 48 kHz broadcast-quality audio, giving you two TRRS inputs for the microphones, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a lightning connector for your iOS device. The microphones record two interview subjects at a time, and the accessories allow you to affix the mics, fight against vocal plosives, and store the mics for later use. With the SC6-L Mobile Interview Kit, you'll have everything you need to record audio from two interview subjects straight into your iOS device, doing so at broadcast quality.
