Question: How do you mic a zombie? Answer: Ever since the apocalypse happened, audio engineers, audio professionals, and audio hobbyists alike have been aiming for the highest-fidelity sound capture of the zombie nation that freely roams our streets. Audio-Technica’s Engineering Department has been hard at work putting together the industry’s best tools. The Audio Solutions Department gets frequent calls inquiring about which microphone will best capture specific zombie sounds. Determining if the zombie in question has body parts that are falling off at an expedited pace due to rapid decay or if the zombie is more docile and will allow for closer miking techniques, Audio Solutions evaluates each zombie application to maximize the capture of every nuance of the creature’s sub-human croaking.
If your zombie has a slow rate of decay, a headworn microphone such as the BP894cW along with the digital fidelity of the System 10 Camera-Mount wireless system will allow you to bring the zombie’s voice “to life.” The portability of the System 10 Camera-Mount will allow you to follow your zombie wherever they may roam. Using the System 10 PRO instead, with its dual channel receiver chassis and remote receiver units, will allow you to connect headworn microphones and capture two zombies at once. With multiple linked systems, up to 10 zombies can be mic’d up at a time (in case you have a gaggle of zombies to deal with). Your zombie application may require additional mounting techniques such as stapling, nailing, or hot gluing the microphone to the creature. Omnidirectional lavalier microphones such as the BP896cW or AT899cW are great choices for securing life-like… er, let’s call it “better-sounding” audio.![Audio-Technica Mic a Zombie](https://audio-technica.com/wordpress/app/uploads/2016/10/11064763_988315647873440_6025144727066236639_o-1024x681.jpg)
