There's another important thing about all Sennheiser MKH microphones. It's their operating principle. Sennheiser being a German company, the MKH stands for Mikrofon Kondensator Hochfrequenz. They're RF condenser microphones. They don't have a DC polarisation voltage applied to their capsules as in almost all other condenser microphones but their capsules are the capacitor in the LC circuit of an RF oscillator.
Without wanting to go any further into the principle - there are lots of articles online describing how they work - here's the big advantage: the voltage across the capsule is much lower. Only a few volts. This makes them far less troublesome in places with low temps and/or high humidity. I've had Rode NT-5 give up with a loud bang on a beach in the North of France caused by arcing across the capsule in sub-zero temps. This will never happen with a MKH microphone.
You could take them into a Turkish bath and they'd still work. Don't try this with any other type.
I fully agree! They’re very impressive, and what’s more, it’s an older technology.
I would still feel less than comfortable taking an MKH-50 out in the rain. Haha. The 416 can handle anything though.
Thanks for this great comment! I really look forward to these types of posts. Cheers!
Now you've done it. You've thrown the gauntlet down; raised the bar. Now every self-respecting RUclips audio pro must preface their gear reviews with a feature film-quality clip just to stay competitive. But who among them all would have a wife like yours with skilled acting chops, or the attention to detail to place a slow-dialing rotary phone to heighten the tension? Not to mention having an NKH50 to borrow! Seriously, gear reviews are not supposed to be this entertaining. Or as beautifully executed. You rock.
Hahahaha. Wow! Thanks so much, man! That’s so nice of you to say! I just told my wife and she said, “who me?” and then laughed. Haha.
Classic Bridget eye rolls when I come to her and say, “so I have this idea…”
Hahaha. Thanks so much for the compliment. Made mine and her day!
Is he ok? 😂 Just found this channel. Very entertaining. Thank so for taking the time. Appreciate you
Hahaha. Thanks for the great comment! Cheers, Samson!
Man, this is ridiculously well done. Love this!
Hey thanks so much! I appreciate that, Jeff! Cheers!
"Yeah, I'm doing an info dump right now so their power of disbelief is maintained." Dude, that just slayed me and I almost spit taked on my keyboard. Absolutely brilliant video.
Hahaha. Thanks, dude! I was hoping that made sense. Haha. Cheers!
I originally found your channel when I was researching the 416 probably a year ago and here I am back regarding the MKH50. Always a pleasure to return to the channel ❤️
Oh thanks so much! I appreciate that! Cheers! ❤️
To me, all the EQ profiles are very similar to the MKH-50. Well done.
Thanks so much! I spent entirely too much time trying to match them. I hope they’ll be valuable to some viewers who can’t afford an MKH-50. I sure can’t. Haha. Cheers!
This is the channel I needed!
Oh thanks for saying that! Happy holidays! Cheers!
I look forward to every new video with giddy anticipation.
Hahaha. Thanks so much, Lyle! I appreciate that!
Also your wife is awesome in the sketch! 🤩I'm gonna try using some of the vibes from the sketch for my makeup shoots.
Oh. Haha. Thank you very much! She was so happy when I told her you said that! I can’t wait to see what you do!
the mkh416 sound so good,raw for more in yourface sound. and with your preset so close to the mkh50 for more natural sounding.
Yes. I think the preset worked out pretty good! Cheers!
Wow the 416 has such an apparent introduction of room noise when compared to the 50. The EQ match helped but still had it there. The 416 profile on the MKH50 sounded good, but its hard to hide that noise.
The 416 is meant for outdoors. Due to the interference tube, phasing might occur when sounds bounce around the room and into the mic from the side at the same time as the end. This might be what you’re referring to.
Thank You! I'm definitely buying the MKH 416 to MKH 50 EQ emulation! I would love to see your advice on how to process voiceovers and long form narrations using Fab filter plugins one day. Again Thank you!
Of course! Thanks so much!
Like you I have also been wanting the MKH-50. Not only does it sound great but the self noise is pretty low at 12db. The less work I need to do in post as far as noise removal goes, the better. I was really hoping to hear the noise floor a bit when you compared the mics but all I could hear was the brief opening of gate and what sounded like a computer fan in the background. :-) Thanks for the overview and great job on the EQ work. Looking forward to future videos...
Cheers,
Greg
Oh. My apologies. I never use a gate. Perhaps it was just the way I edited the clips? The comparison part was pure raw mics with a limiter on the master just in case I peaked. I did use a little bit of C-Suite C-Vox noise suppression on the opening part because the street outside was lively. I also used a high pass and likely a limiter for that part. The rest is raw.
I should’ve compared the noise. My apologies!
But I’m glad you liked it!
Cheers!
@@TheRecordist No worries! Your content is informative and entertaining. Cheers!
Love everything about this video. I think EQ matching is a great way to hear the true character of a microphone. I think that 50 kind of softens the sibilance a little bit, something about internal reflection, or different acoustic properties of the capsules and their surroundings. the sound of the 416 Reminds me of the acoustic presence boost you can get in some microphones that have an acoustic presence boost filter.
Hey thanks! I love trying to EQ match. When I was young and poor, I could never afford the expensive mics, but I always tried to figure out a way to make cheap mics sound a little more like the big guys. Haha.
And yes. The 416 has that sharp edge on the top. It was originally designed to punch through on tape - which had a roll off on the highs.
Thanks for watching!
I was surprised to hear the Oktava MK-012 sound pretty close to the Senn. MKH-50 after you processed it. Thanks for this video.
It worked out pretty good, eh? Haha. Cheers!
I have an Oktava so that's good hear
@@cameraheadstudios perfect! Tell me what you think if you download the preset.
This is a video I've been waiting for. I have not heard a direct comparison of the Oktava and MKH50 before. The fact that the Oktava (as good as it is) can be emulated close to an MKH50 is very encouraging, but Fabfilter is out of my price range. This is another great video, and I love the skit at the beginning. The set design of the night stand area is fantastic. I have a phone from the 70's like that for a prop as well, and also another from 1940. Yes, I love to go to flea markets for such findings. They bring such a "feel" to scenes. Thank you for all the info presented here. Just fantastic, and in such an entertaining way.
Hey thanks so much, man! Tell me, which parametric EQ do you use? If I can create and share presets with it, I’ll try to make you a profile using your preferred EQ.
As far as the set design… THANK YOU! I looked high and low for a 1970s phone as a prop for just this exact video (and perhaps future ones). It took me months. I ended up scoring a 1950s style phone too! That’s so cool that you have a 40s style one!
Thanks for the really awesome complement and it makes me feel good to know it’s appreciated! Cheers!
Another entertaining and info filled episode!!!!! And the youtube creative genius award goes to......tps! possible to make presets to emulate the sennheisers with waves F6 floating band dynamic eq for an AT897 shotgun mic?
@@darrelldoespodcasts6225 hey. Hahaha. Well thank you kindly!
And yes! It’s totally possible to do it with the Waves EQ, however, I’ll need the mic you’ll be applying the EQ curves to. I don’t have an 897 handy here. But I could try to grab one.
i just picked one up....want to borrow it? for my request?
@@darrelldoespodcasts6225 wow. Well I sure do appreciate that, but my local audio dealer will provide a loaner for me at my request (they’re awesome people). I’ll email them now and see when I can grab one.
Thanks for the offer though!
Really good video
Thanks!
@@TheRecordist you’re doing us great justice on reviews. Keep it going. Definitely introduced me to new brands and sold me on the mkh50. That low end is just so lush!!
Oh yay! I got the Oktava mic on your recommendation. I will never spend $1200 on a mic unless I become a millionaire hahaha!
Also, I couldn't tell the difference with the EQ on so I'll try it with my voice. I hope it sounds nice with my register.
It would sound good! I find the EQ curves does what I do to EQ the Oktava anyway. So it should be a little gentler on your voice!
Hey! You are so very good in making those movies! ...and Sennheiser is my other name, without the cost part... :)
Hahaha. Thanks very much! Yes. The cost. Yikes. But that sound! I also want to buy one! Cheers!
Congratulations, this review is amazing! And a very special thanks to Bridget for the great acting! This is exactly the kind of mic I aspire to own someday. However, in this price range and for this purpose, I might prefer the Schoeps MK41. Have you ever tried that?
What I deeply appreciate about your channel, is that the act of retroactively denouncing all RUclips mic-tests as deceptive, and then disappearing altogether, remains confined to a fantastic joke! I guess that must be the essential difference between preservation and assassination. 😂
Hahaha. Man, you made my wife’s week! She’d never acted before. Thank you for that!
The MK41 is an awesome mic! As are most of Schoeps mics. You can’t go wrong on that one!
And I think you’re referring to MYN over at the Microphone Assassin. Haha. Yes. I think what he actually meant to say got a bit convoluted in its delivery. He’s just exhausted and I don’t blame him for it.
However, preservation always beats assassination! Hahaha.
Thanks so much for the lovely and well-thought-out comment! Cheers!
@@TheRecordist Yes, MYN had a great run here on RUclips and his voice will be missed!!!
Go preservation! Go!👍
@@daggerman-dcgk woo hoo!
Very good
Thanks!
Testing and comparing mics in a quiet room is not a challenging situation. You have to get out in the real world and deal with unwanted noise.
Schoeps are better. I tried one. A lot of location recorders and classical music engineers are using DPA. These are double the cost. And there is the Sennheiser 80 series. Another step up from the MKH series. My MKH50 is a keeper and does the job well with no complaints. Money well spent.
Disagree with the statement about not being made for music. These are great for live music production and recording. Especially classical acoustic instruments. Feedback resistant and good isolation. Super quiet in the studio.
Hey. Thanks for the comment. Of course, as I’ve said in many of my videos, anything can be used for anything to achieve anything. It’s all about what works for you. Of course the MKH-50 can be used for music. Any mic can. But I feel like someone isn’t going to go out and spend $1300 on an MKH-50 to record music.
Schoeps are certainly way more popular with sound recordists. You’re right. And they’ve got an amazing sound. I agree with you.
As far as environment, you have a point, though this mic is primarily chosen for indoor booming. Generally film sets are relatively quiet in such situations. But, once again, as I always say in my videos, what do I know? I’m just some guy.
Thanks for the feedback!
Great Video! I picked up the Audio Technica AT4053b for indoor shoots. Got its used at a great price until I can afford a MKH 50. I own the 416 for outdoor shoots. I feel the AT4053b is great for "youtubing" but I definitely want the MKH50 for paid client work
That’s great! The 4053b is a great mic, but I agree with you. The MKH-50 is just the top choice for indoor booming. I’m going to save up for my own 50. Haha.
Thanks so much for the great comment!
@@TheRecordistright on brother! Let me know if you ever want to do a collab. I just started this channel after having my other cooking channel @tomwadek. Keep up the great videos. I look forward for them!
@@TomWadeCine hey Tom! That’s awesome! I like your channels! Cheers!
Had to like for the puns!
Hahaha. Thanks so much!
416’s my favorite mic.
Oh yes! It’s a fabulous mic!
That was cool. Please could you do a 416 eq for NTG3 …most of us here in Amsterdam would love to have it …
Hey. I’ll try to get my hands on an NTG3. That’s a great idea!
Awesome! Thanks 🤟
Just sub’d assuming all your content is this good ;). No pressure. I have been using the mkh416 on my channel for the last 18months but if I was smarter I would have bought the mkh50 first. I do hear the reverb in my vids from the 416 but most people don’t hear or care because the quality still excels above most. Now I’m debating buying one and selling my 416 or keep both. I’m not booming outdoors and instead using wireless lav. I do like how small the 50 is and easy to get out of frame. Keep up the good work.
Yes. If you’re not outdoors, the 416 is less awesome for your purposes. However, the 416 is used quite extensively for some VO work - especially for commercial, intro, or trailer work. It’s always a great mic to have around just in case. But the MKH50 is special. It does one thing extremely well. Why not borrow or rent it to see if you like what it does for you?
And thanks so much for the sub! Cheers!
@@TheRecordist I appreciate the advice. I may have to rent it. Have a blessed new year!
@@JaredHoyman you as well! Happy new year!
Great video, great mic. I’m always a little torn when I see microphones like this. As a single person podcaster I always seem to want to buy everything especially microphones like this, but I keep telling myself, do you really need it? In the end I talk myself into buying it, and then it sits, next to a hundred other microphones that I have bought and put in a cupboard, and never tried. Oh, what to do😊
Hahaha! I know the feeling! I also collect mics nonstop. It’s called GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) and it’s real!
Let me help you: as a podcaster, the greater masses that listen to you would never tell the difference between mics. They only know when something sounds bad. Not even when something sounds good (when it’s good, they don’t notice). So if you’re using a 50 or a 416 or a C-414 or a U87, they’ll never know it. Only you and a very select few fellow GAS guys. Haha.
You're a mad bugger, but I love your passion, dedication and willingness to share your experiences and unique talents with the world! I've learned so many things already from your time-resistant broadcasts, and I deeply appreciate the time and effort you spend to indulge in this pursuit that, secretly, I wish I was doing myself! Keep up the legacy of the Time Preservation Enclave and maintain the ethos for the poor, passionate and talented bastards who simply will never get access to pro-level gear, but will at least have some idea of what to strive for (or to live at peace with what they already have)!!! I don't personally own a temporally transient tape measure, but I suspect my right-foot big toenail has a curious tendency to work on its own time stream…unlike the left… ;o)
Hahaha. Brilliantly said! And thank you so much for the wonderful compliments! Cheers!
I loved it when she racked the piston rifle.
Hahaha. Yep! Cheers!
Do you think we can use the Sennheiser 8040 for indoor dialogue?
Oh yes. Those are great for indoor dialogue. Especially good with poor acoustics. They tend to reject bounce.
Cheers!
hey i have the 416 but i was looking to get the AT4053B f as a budget mic for in doors for my video production company what do you think ?
Hey. I think the AT4053b is an excellent mic. You absolutely can’t go wrong with that purchase. There are very few really fantastic sounding indoor boom mics and the 4053b is one of them. Cheers!
do you think your audio file for the mke50 would work on it lool?
@@TheRecordist
@@xavierstapleton9780 haha. No I don’t think so. They’re tailor made to the mic hosting the EQ curve.
Luckily, I use a scientifically measured method of matching the mics, and I record all of my positions in order to do it. So I would only need to get ahold of the 4053b for an evening to match it to the 50 or any other mic I may have.
Keep in mind that while the EQ curve can get close, it can never replace the sound of the mic being emulated. This is due to the differences in polar patterns, capsules, subtle compressions and distortions, etc.
But it can get very close. Haha.
Glad i stumbled across this video, now im sure im going to buy the mkh 50 soon :D no one is going to believe me that michael myers gave me the tip on it..
One question, do you think the mkh 50 will work well in combination with an Cranborne Camden EC2? if you maybe know that preamp
Hahaha. You know it!
That Camden EC2 is a nice pre. And yes, I think it would work wonderfully, as long as you keep the coloring light. It would be great!
@@TheRecordist alright Great, will try that out!
but the prices for a mkh 50 here in germany are huge .. its about 1500 to 1700€
@@VELVET462 yep. Same with here in Canada ($1750). www.long-mcquade.com/237141/Pro-Audio---Recording/Microphones/Sennheiser/MKH-50-Super-Cardioid-Condenser-Microphone.htm
A few years ago they were $1300. Everything went up in price, sadly.
Is it really that expensive when people but a new iPhone that cost the same if not more every year or two when they do the same thing on it and the cameras not much different on it?
By the way, any way to buy CM4 in Malaysia and also for field recordings, any reason not to use Sennheiser MKE 440 stereo mic but make your own CM4 stereo pair? Do you use omni or cardioid for stereo pair?
Hey. Yes. You’re right. It’s not that expensive when you consider it’s also a lifetime mic. You’ll have it forever.
You can contact Line Audio and ask them if they ship to Malaysia. My hunch is that they do.
The 440 is very different to the CM4 but you can generally do anything with anything and most won’t tell the difference.
I use Clippy or Pluggy omni mics for A-B spaced pairs for quiet ambiences. But use the cardioid CM4 mics for XY and ORTF instrument miking and other recording.
changing halloween from 5s to 6s is going to haunt me for the rest of my life
Hahaha. What do you mean? It’s been a while since I made that video.
@@TheRecordist original score for Halloween is famously a 5/4 signature - your version adds an extra beat making it 6/4 or maybe 3/4
@@jumpoffroof hahaha. Oh yes! Sorry I was reading it as “5-S”.
Yeah. I wanted to use the original music but it is copyrighted. So I recorded my own spin on it that would be passable to at least most non-musicians. Haha.
So sorry about that!
@@TheRecordist it’s ok I just kept anticipating the accents early! Have you got yourself a 50 of your own yet? My only regret so far is not getting one sooner!
@@jumpoffroof haha. I know the feeling! But no, I haven’t gotten my own yet. I’ve got to only buy gear my channel can benefit from these days. And since I already reviewed it, it’s on the back burner. It’s a fabulous mic though, isn’t it?
Line Audio CM4 good for serious feature film project? ( For indoor dialogue )
It’s a great mic. And it can definitely be used. The only potential issue would be that it has a very very wide pickup beam - unlike a supercardioid (like the MKH-50) - so it’s less isolating when you point it. But the sound is great and it’s easy to work with in post.
@@TheRecordist Means it's more suitable for ambient sound
@@arunr4103 not necessarily. It can be used for all kinds recording. Even voice. You just need to try to get in as close as possible. It’ll pick up a lot of that area. For example, it’s great for two people in conversation etc.
What about Schoeps CMC 641, please? I thought that is the industry standard and king of interior mics.
Industry standard is a subjective thing. Many location sound pros use the MKH 50, and many use Schoeps. It depends on what you prefer. That’s why I said “if you ask me”. Haha. It’s all about your own preferences. Cheers!
@@TheRecordist That's true. Thanks for your quick response.
Did you ever used the modern mkh 8050 ? Its sounds same good als the mkh50
Oh yes. That’s a fabulous mic. I’d love to do a review on that one here on my channel!
@@TheRecordist I would be very happy about that. In the end, I still like the MKh 416 with its settings the most.
@@CreepypastaChronicals of course. The good old standby. The 416 will always have a place in me heart!
I've heard that in large indoor spaces, a pickup pattern like the 416 is better than the 50, is that true?
Honestly uou could use either without issue in that situation. The problem with a 416 indoors is the possibility of room reverb (bounce) coming into the interference tube and canceling out the spoken word. In a large open space, there shouldn’t be any issue with that.
The 416 is great for rejecting sounds from the sides. The 50 is more of a supercardioid mic with less rejection. You could use a 50 outside and inside. But you might run into problems with a 416 inside if you haven’t treated your room properly (if it’s a small room).
@@TheRecordist Interesting, thank you. I found that because of the lack of rejection the MKH50 needs to get pretty close compared to something with the pickup of a 416. What do you think?
@@ChenProductionsCo this would be true if used outdoors, but indoors in a controlled setting, it works marvelously well.
Still, many sound recordists prefer to use the 50 outdoor as well as indoors - weather permitting of course, since the 50 is not weather resistant like the 416 is.
I did know that you could continue talking on the phone during an electrical storm, but! It is not recommended at all because the electron charge can go through there and go through the head of the person speaking if they are not lucky...
Haha. You’d be correct! Not advisable to be on a landline telephone during an electrical storm. But we remember back in the old days that when the power went out, the phone lines still worked. Just probably unsafe!
There isn’t that much electricity in a phone line
@@VM-oi3dk LOL
If you flick the high pass filter on the 50, it will sound just like the 416
Really? I didn’t notice that. Thanks for letting me know!
Schoeps cmc6mk41 and Schoeps cmit5u are the movie mics. The 50 doesn't have a good reach and sometimes just too much proximity on bottomed end. It's a great interview mix though, hate it for booming.
Hey. Thanks for chiming in! Yes, the Schoeps mics are probably the most popular mic these days on sets. But I’ve met several recordists who still swear by the MKH50, and I still see them being used here and there.
But you’re right. I’d love the get a CMIT5U here to review!
@@TheRecordist indeed the 50 really is a beautiful mic. Thank you for the video. 🙏
@@aaroneschenburg4018 cheers!
I still see mkh50 on every large feature film set I have been on in the last few weeks at work. When at the correct distance the proximity effect is no worse than the 416. When you know where the capsules are, it makes that less of an issue.
@@anthonyrock5039 you boom with the 50 over the Schoeps mk41 for indoors? Your preference or the mixers mic locker? I don't think I've had it on a pole since 2010. Very nice and rich mic. I just haven't seen it in a long time!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 5:56 spiel. LOVED IT.
Hahahaha! Cheers!
Oh goodness. I laughed so hard my brain hurt. Oh shit. MKH-50 is so nice. I listened on many headphones. Saving my hey-pennies kind sir.
Hahaha. I’m so glad! I try to give people a laugh or two and am so happy when I succeed at that. Thanks so much for letting me know!
And about saving for the MKH-50… me too! Cheers!
@@TheRecordist No one on the street (public or RUclips) talks about real industry devices save you and Markus, the guy that made Time Bandits. No one has ever mentioned the MKH-50 as being industry standard and I had no idea it was so excellent. It shall be mine.
I am also saving for a 418-S. The mic that Tiny desk uses to record - Tiny Desk. Sound-on my friend.
@@mattbba8451 awesome! Hey the 418s is one interesting and killer mic. Mid-side capabilities? Fantastic.
And yes. I find it very hard to find actual RUclipsrs who dwell in this type of audio recording stuff. Usually it’s music or even VO. Rarely film set audio. And even when they do, it’s not correct info because they’re video guys who think audio is not a big thing and dole out bad info.
I’m happy to help fill that gap! Cheers!
I could literally hear zero differences between any mics
With my EQ-matching turned on? Or each mic as they are?
Very impressive cinematography, but that’s not what I’m here for.
Thanks! I just came up with a little drama to showcase the mic in action - as one would employ it for that which it was intended.
