    I'm a short-form, non-fiction video producer and videographer, looking to improve my sound recording significantly.
  1. Yeah! It was driving me crazy. I'd put a bid on it and then it would disappear and re-list. I think he just wanted to do the Buy It Now the whole time. I also am picking up a Busman BSC1 for my "test" as well, to throw a potential dark horse into the mix. I'm going to be comparing the Audix SCX1-HC, Sennheiser MKH50 and the Busman BSC1 in a basic recording test in NYC - I'll probably have one male and one female voice and try to keep everything consistent. If anyone is in NYC and wants to try out another mic in a big test, please let me know. Could be interesting to have 4-6 HC mics all recorded under the same settings for comparison. It wouldn't be perfect, but would help some people who don't have the ability to test them out otherwise.
  2. I grabbed the Sennheiser MKH50 as well (the one on eBay) - I'll give the Audix SCX1 and the MKH50 a shot and compare. I'd love to hear the Gefell 310 as well, but it seems quite hard to find. Thank you for all of the feedback!
  3. Great points. Do any of the ones I listed have positive or negative aspects with these factors that are notable?
  4. I'm very interested to hear the M-310. Where'd you end up getting it?
  5. Thanks for sharing Marc - that just went up. Seems like good luck. Just put my bid in, crossing fingers. I also just put an order in for an Audix SCX1 one to try as well. Finally will be able to test a few of these out myself. Thank you for all of the valuable thoughts and feedback!
  6. Thanks for comparing the two. I'd certainly love a MKH50, but I can't afford one new and I can't find any used ones anywhere. I've listened to quite a few samples and prefer it over the CMC641 to my ear. I understand the CMC641 is more natural sounding and the MKH50 is a bit (just a bit) hyped and deeper. From the recordings I heard at least from the "As I Hear It" shootout by Dan Brockett - http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/right_mic_brockett.html - I preferred the MKH 50 for the female vocal and the male vocal (with the rolloff engaged, I thought it was too "Barry White" with it off). Am I crazy for not preferring the CMC641 as the top dog in the high-end mics? I don't think I've developed my ear for comparing completely yet...
  7. Hey Brent, Thank you for bringing this all up, it's very valuable to hear this, especially since I'm starting out.
  8. Have you had any handling issues or other issues with the Audix since it doesn't have a pad or low cut?
  9. I found the film when I began searching for the different versions of the Gefell on the forums (210, 300, 310) since I didn't really know much about that particular mic. I think it came up when there was a conversation about a South Korean trying to find a Gefell 310 (which seems to be a very hard mic to find). From the $600 price difference, I might try out the Audix first, unless you feel there's a big difference between the two.
  10. Hey Bernie, Thanks for the response, I checked out the wrestling film that you used the Gefell in and I thought it sounded great. Can I ask why you choose to use the Gefell over the Audix?
  11. Hey Wandering Ear, I looked into the KM185 - but I read that it was better suited for instrument recording than dialogue. How do you think it works for dialogue? I agree, the samples aren't going to be great for comparing, but I feel listening to something is better than just reading about how they sound.
  12. Hi Bernie, Thank you for addressing both "elusive" mics - the Peluso and Audix. Sounds like the Peluso is definitely off the plate now with those issues. How do you find the Audix compared to higher end mics like the Schoeps and Gefell? You don't happen to have any recordings or references to anything recorded on the Audix? Just heard the recording you made with the Gefell m210 (from a different post in the forum) and it sounds pretty solid. Definitely felt pretty natural and didn't have a lot of the bass I was hearing with some of the other mics. - Zack
  13. Has anyone used the Peluso for dialogue too? Anyone have any samples?
  14. Hi Richard, Thanks, I forgot to add that one and I'll edit to include. I've heard that the C480B some handling noise issues, have you had any issues with that? What do you feel like it sounds like? Is it more hyped, is it flat? Bassy? Open? - Zack
  15. Hi Eric, Thank you for your honest feedback. I haven't used any of these mics, so any feedback on my "meta" collection of the reviews is very useful. All of this is from what I've read on different forums. I know that this is a TV/film dialogue-focused forum, which is what I intend to use this microphone for. The only reason why I mentioned the guitar reviews with the Peluso is because I couldn't find any reviews on people using it for dialogue, but it comes up quite often in this forum as an alternative to the Schoeps.
