Hey man. Good one for posting this debate… It’s a good one. Mic that I believe achieves both characteristics is in fact the Sennheiser MKH 50. It’s super warm, but very detailed and precise, with truly excellent voice isolation. And takes EQ really well. Highly highly recommended to give it a try.
Too many people ignore SDC’s because they don’t get talked about enough.
@@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff for sure. I keep trying LDCs against my MKH50 and it always wins. And if you eq the mids up a little, it sounds quite Neumann-y, in the best way, but without any room pick up. See if you can get hold of one to try/review. I’ll lend you mine if you’re in LA. Lemme know
@@matthewwolf1793Thanks! That’s kind of you. I actually had one a few years back and I hate to say it but it wasn’t my thing. It picked up a resonance on me that a few mics just grab.
@@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff Ah right. No worries. Whatever works for you. We're all different.
I feel like SDCs are really underutilized for voice/vocal in the studio. The Schoeps CMC641 (super cardioid) is the industry standard indoor boom mic, does it also see use for VO like the MKH 416?
There's a Gearspace thread about recording vocals with the CMC64 (cardioid) and CMC621 (wide cardioid) so it obviously works well for some people
It's probably because it's about 60 percent more expensive than a 416, or that it isn't the same known entity as a 416 in the world of VO, but the Schoeps does not get talked about much in the world of VO, despite being a location recordist's prime choice. The truth is that those two worlds don't really overlap as much as one would think, but the Schoeps has a tremendous reputation. I love the sound of SDC's for VO. You can get some really great vocal sounds from an SDC, but for close up work like that, you really have to have your mic technique on point.
The Schoeps are very natural and musical so I guess you lose the mid forward bite that makes the 416 so appealing for VO. But they’re also less sensitive than the 416 so they might be more forgiving of bad technique?
I might have to setup my CMC64 and compare it to an 87 or something
