NOTE: Some volume variations occurred do to a faulty "normalization" feature in the editor and were not caused by the microphone or recorder. My fault, I normalized, then didn't listen again before I posted.

This is a great budget interview microphone. I really needed an interview mic to simplify doing live interviews. I often use wired lavs, shotgun mic with recorders to do interviews. I needed something faster to setup and use. This pair, the Boya BY-HM100 with the Tascam DR10x really does the trick. I can get setup and be recording in less than a minute.

You be the judge of the audio quality of the mic. I recorder this in my echo chamber of our main room. It has all hard surfaces and a 5m (15') ceiling. Personally I think it did a good job. I'm excited to use it in a real interview situation. I think you could spend more on a mic. I'm not sure the higher price would buy that much of a difference in sound quality.

Thinking of Heading to SE Asia?

I'm an expat living in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia. I'd like to share my experiences with you. My videos might help you have a better experience, anticipate what to expect or encourage you to get out of that Lazyboy and head this way.

My videos are snippets of life, but I also am happy to discuss SE Asia with you by email.

Email is welcomed at [email protected]

A lot of my video is shot within 5km of my house in the Tân Phú district of Ho Ci Minh City (Saigon). There is a lot of activity here.

The videos are representative of everyday life and challenges in the city for retired expats. My goal is to help those looking for another life to see what it's like in this wonderful SE Asian country. My hope is that you will visit Vietnam and just maybe you will enjoy it as much as I do. Some of the videos are just for fun, some are about the differences in the cultures.

I will also be adding some videos about my time in other SE Asian countries.

I hope you SUBSCRIBE to my channel and enjoy the videos on my channel.
