cory Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Thinking of possibly holding a shotgun microphone shootout in a couple weeks in NYC with the following microphones: DPA 4017Sanken CS3eSchoeps CMC641Schoeps CCM41Schoeps Cmit5uRode NTG3Oktava 012Sennheiser MKH50 and 60Would this interest anyone here in NYC? Maybe we'd also get pizza afterwords? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze Frias Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'd be interested in joining. I've done some comparisons between a few of the mics you listed, but would definitely welcome a more "scientific" approach. I'd also love to see direct comparisons between: DPA 4018, MKH50, MKH 8050, CMC641, CCM41, Oktava 012 DPA 4017, MKH60, MKH 8060, CMIT5U, Sanken CS3e Perhaps at different distances (say 6", 1', 2'?) from sound source, as well as different axis positions / (say 0 / on axis, 45 off axis?). If we could record and/or film these, we can do double blind tests and see what folks think / like better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Michael Lau Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 I can donate an 8050 if the day is amicable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Visser Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 looks like I'll be in the city this weekend and quite possibly a few more weekends coming up. Would be cool just to meet a few of my NYC brethren. Don't know if I have any time this weekend since a lot of it will be taken up by driving (coming from Watertown) but will keep tabs if something is organized in the future.

Tom, even if this mic shootout does not time well with your stay in NYC, we should still set something up while you're here! Gimme a call or shoot me a text - 347-465-0711, we can gather the masses.

cory Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Tom-- you're invited, but only if you bring that sweet sweet H2 mod 😁 I'm thinking of next Friday as a possibility-- will keep y'all posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should also test them in quiet conditions and with loud ac running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Sonnenfeld Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 I'd love to come. I could also add in a CUT 1 filter to the CMC641 and a Sanken CS-1e if people are interested in that too. Also will bring a 416 to throw in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurenbanjo Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 I'm a newbie so I wouldn't be able to contribute anything (except donating some money towards food/drinks), but this sounds like it would be a very informative event for me to attend. Keep me posted on the date/time. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movies by Matt Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Depending on the date & location, I could shoot & do post for the project if my company name can be credited. I'd bring a 416 if it wasn't covered already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurenbanjo Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 I am free and would love to come, but since there is a limit on the number of people, and I have absolutely no knowledge or gear I could contribute, feel free to put me on the waiting list and I'll come as long as the other spots aren't filled up come Friday.
