Im looking to buy an 8050 for indoor use on tv and film on the end of a boom pole.
Obviously handling noise is going to be an issue on the end of a pole.
So Im wondering about the fact that you cannot put a basscut between the capsule and the preamp on the 8050, unlike the schoeps collete system.
So my options are:
1 - to put in a bass cut made by sennheiser for the 8050 which plugs in just after the capsule+preamp unit
2 - to use Rycote's Tac!t cable just after the mic unit
3 - just to use the bass cut on my 442 mixer
Obviously options 2 and 3 are a lot cheaper but I want the best sound possible, Im just not sure if spending 6 times the money on the Sennheiser bass cut is worth it if a simpler solution exists which doesnt affect the sound quality
What are people's experience with the 8050 on the end of the pole and its handling noise?
And what bass cut options have worked for you with regards to traffic rumble etc and boom handling noise?
Thanks for any feedback!!
