One of the reasons it’s so popular (especially for outdoor field recording) is due to its “laser-beam” focus. The interference pattern is one of the best I’ve ever worked with. I know you said 'just for fun' – fair enough – but surely with shotgun mics it should be very easy to mic up the same voice with 2 different mics? (Assuming one has more than one preamp.) Just measure the same distance and point'n'shoot, no? (Much easier than trying to cram two LDCs into the same airspace, for example.)
Okay… Maybe it’s a little expensive, but I’ll tell you what I did to pay it LESS later. For now, let’s just focus on the features that make this microphone indispensable.
What other mics should I look into for situations where a 416 isn't the best choice? (Any budget, but would love something that punches above its weight). That‚Äôs why Rycote designed the Windshield Kit, 416. Featuring their genuine, patented Lyre¬Æ technology, Rycote basket windshield, premium short XLR connectors (incorporated from the advanced Cyclone¬Æ range) and professional-quality Mogami cable, it‚Äôs perfect for the Sennheiser MKH 416.* Some say that it ISN’T the best microphone for voice while others swear by it. However, I think that everybody agrees that it’s the perfect option for film sets. Broadcast industry standard Rycote basket windshield for stunning wind noise protection and superior acoustic transparency
Cost of return – The costs of returning goods to Raycom shall be borne by you, the customer, in all circumstances without exception, unless otherwise agreed upon with Raycom. Rycote Perfect For Sennheiser MKH 416 ‚Äì The MKH 416 An industry standard for a variety of professional recording situations in broadcast, radio and television, Sennheiser‚Äôs MKH 416 shotgun microphone deserves the best wind and handling noise protection available. I compared the Sennheiser MKH 416 against my mainstay, the Rode NT2-A large diaphragm condenser, recording a short bit of voice-over copy. I was really impressed with how much better the Sennheiser sounded than the Rode – and THAT has never happened to me. I'm looking for something to record dialogue with (indoor and outdoor). Usually a single speaker, but occasionally, I might need to cover 2 or more people. (I understand this will most likely require multiple mics). But, I'd love the mic I choose to be able to record some foley, atmospheric stuff, and other things too.The audio would have been truly awesome if we had a 3rd person holding the mic on the end of a boom pole (sometimes called a fish pole) mic holder with the mic just above my head and out-of-frame, pointing down at my mouth. I’ll do that test another day. Hey guys, I'm a solo filmmaker, and am starting to take sound a bit more seriously. I'm shooting everything from Interviews, to TVC, and hoping to do more narrative.
