  1. I can't tell it of course. But from my experience as a sound recordist I can guess where the CS-3e was used with its killer focus but a bit thin sound or a 416 with a sharp and shrilling top end or a meaty mid range Schoeps mics or almost rumbling with its proximity effect MKH50 (with no low cut) or a dynasty of the DPA mics. But again, I could be wrong in more than 50% because the sound I hear depends of many acoustic factors as well as on the recordist and the boom operator abilities to handle the situation. We all know how long is the way in order to bring a usable sound. So when I am lucky enough to work with the great recording in every aspect, the last question I ask myself is what mic its been recorded with. I just know that it wasn't possible without an experienced recordist using proper mics.
  2. Oh here I am absolutely agree with you. The MKH60 is completely different beast with different purpose of usage (shotgun). It sounds better for exteriors than 416 but... today I think there are plenty of better shotguns for exteriors on the market. As for interior no shotgun usage will make my life easy. It fact it makes the mixing quite a challenge because of its off axis response and wild coloration of it. So be it MKH50 or even 40 or MK41 its usually a pleasure to work with any of them.
  3. Again from the film mixing post production POV when you listen on a large mix stage there is no clear advantage for Schoeps mics over MKH's. The better on axis and more natural off axis I am afraid could be only auditioned within the critical tests (you can hear it with your headphones on set) but are far from the real post situation where the Boom mic often has to be mixed with other lavs (e.g for getting natural perspective) with applied EQ and reverb plus passing it through the Cedar DNS One and prior dialog editing cleanups. So thees nuances become not very obvious comparing to what you hear on set. But again, Schoeps mics are in the upper league and in no way I am willing to decrease their role in the industry. Well, I do it for 20 years and still enjoy go outside. I keep my equipment ready all the time (but I sold my MK41's and got MKH50's instead).
  4. Schoeps are both on the paper and practically noisier than the MKH series (MK41 has 14db w CMC6 vs 12dB for MKH50) They also are less sensitive than e.g. MKH50. (16 mV/Pa vs 25 mV/Pa) Schoeps are quite sensitive to weather, temperature RF and humidity and its performance heavily depends on these conditions. The MKH series are built like a tank and stop working only under the water. Now days I am mainly busy with post production feature film mixing. All I can say that both mics are brilliant and the noise floor of the Schoeps is not an issue for us. We can mix easily MK41 with MKH50 even though they are completely different sounding. So if you can deal with fastidious Schoeps mics (always have some spare ones) - perfect. Other wise get MKH50. Or if you want to get smaller MKH8050 with MZL8003.
  5. I use my M2D2 with my ORTF setup (a pair of mkh8090 mics) which has a 5 pin connector on the Rycote handle. I got a low profile 2x mini-XLR running from M2D2 into a small hole I did in internal fabric through the pen compartment and to the Rycote. Then a low profile or right angle USB C cable goes into other compartment where it connects to the Camera to Ligthing adapter and to the iPhone. My HD25 cans have a right angle connector as well. So everything is highly accessible and easy to use with no stress on the cables.
  6. This is how I use it. Orca is still not making bags for it but even if it will it will cost:-) I use a modified pouch (with my older Petrol soft pads) found on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/AIRSSON-Universal-Organizer-Smartphone-Carabiner/dp/B07VJG3NSY/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?ie=UTF8&fbclid=IwAR0LNz2In64bKDexBYMdiSgTzJILMJUxXdL4tkhCWxKAspxddZyvSWhwEp0&psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
