Recording intercom audio

[R-Rated]

It's a bit hacky, but you can use one of the dual lav mic setups, and toss one in next to the comms speaker. On my drift, with the adapter, it picks up my voice on one channel and the comms on the other, then I just merge them in post. It's not great, but it works well enough.

With each mic coming in on a separate channel - are you running stereo mics and a stereo in and stereo out splitter?

Thinking about recording intercom audio from my packtalk bold. My initial idea is a splitter cable one mic (purple panda) to my mouth for me talking and the second mic (also PP) to one of my speakers to pick up the comms. Is this the best way or has anyone got a better idea?

This is the method I use. But I use cheap flexible mics that some how or another record the best audio in my helmet (Biltwell Gringo S ECE). I split them with a Y cable and plug the Y into my Go pro Dongle. I have a video on my channel showing the setup in my helmet somewhere.

A YT friend of mine, stumbled across a good twin mic set up, and he has had exceptional results with it. It dumps both the vlog audio and the headset audio on the same channel, but it works really well on his videos.

I've bought one to fit out into my new helmet.

Channel is BMC MOTO UK, it was his second to last video, incase thie following link doesnt work with me being a new member.

One mic grabs each channel, so essentially stereo mic. Then I flip them both to stereo in Davinci. Evens out the audio. I was trying to find an easy way to grab intercom conversations. Stereo lav mic from Amazon, into the stereo 3.5mm to Micro USB adater into the Drift Ghost X.

Ah. I have a splitter that captures stereo with each female end and they send it to the male.

I bought the exact same mic. Have yet to try it in anger with the Osmo Action 3

I use a pretty old and inefficient method to record comms if I'm wanting multiple riders voices on my video, I do it occasionally with my wife. My cam microphone is rightn ext to my intercom mic, so naturally what ever I say is picked up anyway on that, how ever when I'm wanting to record answers on the other end I add a hand held audio recorder device, with an external mic, the device goes into the other persons jacket and I feed the external mic into their helmet next to their comms mic.. Like I said, very out dated way of doing things and it adds another level to the editing - but so far it has worked fine so I havn't thought about changing it.

Think i paid about £30 for the audio device off amazon so didn't break the bank, compared to some of my other impulse buys it was a welcome change to crippling my bank account like usual haha

Andreas has found a pretty neat method for the older generation Senas.
