5: High End Mic Comparison IN AN OFFICE

[@Nomad_Audio]

Man I just love the CS3e...so punchy. The DPA sounds killer as well.

[@Knightofspirit]

This is a great series! Well done! Could you do a review for each individual mic as well? Apart from the 416, there are almost no good review videos for these out there. Cheers from Budapest!

Dpa 4017b has option of c preamp as well which is great !

[@DeepBlueWaves]

You are a rockstar. I'm surprised how well the 416 did indoors... I was expecting the MKH 50 to blow it out of the water. Did you maybe have the MKH50's Hi-Pass engaged, because I was surprised at it's self-noise being higher than the 416?

[@superdiscount100]

MKH 50 sounding strangely thin to me. Good work on this video, cheers.

[@voyagersbass]

something is wrong with the 50 for sure, mine does not sound like this

[@AZisk]

this was really useful. thank you

[@Pabula]

Thanks for the series, really amazing mics you test, personally i like how the 416 sounds, even over the 8060.

[@peterbailey277]

Thanks Pabula. I thought the same

[@robrelish]

great job cmc641 cs3e and mkh 50 take the cake for me, though the wasn't expecting as much hiss as there was on the 50

[@SkillCult]

The CS1 is noisy, but it also seems to have more resolution of detail than most of them. It also sounds balanced and not artificially boosted anywhere. I wonder if that noise is the cost of the high resolution.

[@VGScreens]

Interesting to see this, as I had the exact same observation before scroll down, the CS1 really stood out as the nicest sounding.

[@creativegreatsvisuals]

@@VGScreensdo u think the sanken cs1 is noisy? The cs3e is better right ?

[@BenjaminTemplar]

The 8060 sounds to me like an EQed version of the 416 also with a tiny tiny bit less floor noise. I wonder if they had to EQ it because it’s a more sensitive mic than the 416. I think I am going to buy a 416 because it sounds to me like a more natural sound closer to what the human ear hears. I can always EQ it myself if need be in post (you can always EQ but you cannot de-EQ sound). Also, the 416 has the name that many customers ask for or even hire you for. Great video matey!! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@JohnsysChannel]

just bought a 416. I've got a Rode NT G 3 already. I was looking at the 8060, but actually after listening to these tests I think I'm gonna be quite happy with the 416 and for £300 I can't complain. When I get the money I will also look at getting either a cmit or 4017c, but I'm thinking the 416 might actually stop me going there.

[@ProGamerru]

thx for comparison!

[@cscrignaro]

Something strange going on with the MKH50 in this vid. It's got some really high pitch noise to it. Did you notice this as well?

[@nshea3286]

There seems to be something wrong with the MKH 50 used. In the other videos too, you can hear a strange hiss coming from it. I have a MKH 50 and a MKH 8060. The MKH 50 is quieter than the 8060, and I have to crank up my 633 to hear any noise at all.

[@ChrisPFuchs]

Yeah I agree, I own the MKH 50 and it's definitely one of the quieter mics I've ever used. Definitely doesn't have that high end hiss shown in these examples.

[@timmark4190]

@@nshea3286 Between the MKH 50 and MKH 8060 which one do you prefer. What’s the difference in sound

[@MarcoVialeBakmaind]

What are your thoughts about self noise? I've tested 4017B, 4018C and 416 and was really surprised. What do you think about DPA 4017B compared to CMIT5u, in this test I feel they are very close. Tell us what your choice was and why.

[@creativegreatsvisuals]

What 2 do u feel has less self noise ?

[@Sosha666]

Well the mkh50 wins that one for me, but the others are all fine to good.
