The Schoeps is more clear and resolved sounding and natural. The Rode has similar midrange, but not as much top end resolution. One could get away with the NT5 in a dense mix with non featured tracks and probably not tell much of a difference.
Great video. I honestly can't hear a huge difference. Maybe my ears aren't as good as they used to be after so many years of music. Enjoyed this comparison. Nice fiddle playing also
On Huawei 40Pro mobile 😊 i hear no difference, so when ie entire band is being recorded, the difference would be impossible to hear on headphones either, i couldnt afford the most expensive mics, so my choice would be simple. 🙂. I hope NT1 is suitable for cellos, i am thinking of NT1 but 5th gen. Awesome performance though its only for testing.
Definitely lower strings sound fuller on CMC. Plus transient (attack) is night and day difference in favor of Schoeps. Listened on iPhone. I am sure monitors would only highlight these differences.
Listening with my studio monitors I couldn't hear much of a difference, but then with the headphone on the first part I could hear the CMC 6 were like 5% louder and a little more balanced. Then at the end (with EQ and Reverb) the NT5 felt more far, but I think the Røde is totally worth for its price
Here in the USA you can get a used NT5 for about 100 dollars. So I guess the ultimate question is, Is it worth the extra 700-1000 dollars for that extra warmth, or adjust the treble in post. I think for a professional like you the CMC6 might be worth it but for violinists that just want a good mic for things like RUclips, maybe NT5. This is the best comparison video for violinists interested in these mics. Thanks!
Scharps is more natural, and more pleasing.. It’s vers subtle, though. I’m considering the Røde NT-5 for acoustic guitar. Thank you for the video!
NT5 is peaking around 800hz to 2k. Schoeps is a very pleasing, even sound. I have a pair.

I agree! It's totally worth it, but I would still go with the Schoeps for recording fiddle. It's a bit warmer and doesn't really need a lot of EQ
But without A-B test , I can’t tell the difference 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The e string sound more harsh with Rode NT5. Seems like schoeps makes the e string warmer.

too many room reflections to even tell
