hobosoundguy Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hi fellas, I saw an ep of cash cab the other day. I was interested to know how they mic the back seat of the cab. It's a plant obviously but it sounds good. I'm doing a show in loud trucks. We'd like to mic one of the cabs that doesn't have room for a shooter. The sanken cub jumps out from doing drama stuff but with the engine running its loud in there. Any suggestions or thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Holesome Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 In addition to the Sanken CUB, I've had good luck with Tram's on a visor. It's a case by case basis as in-cab noise varies considerably vehicle to vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait isn't the visor in the front? I assume you use the CUB always back there. Sawrab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Schoeps ccm or cmc with collette cable. Schoeps BLM. Tough to beat the best. I love the MKH -50 and am about to a gig where I will use it ins car. I am interested if Sennheiser will release an equivalent to the GVC head so the 8050 can truly compete with the Schoeps. I love the low noise floor of the Sennheiser mics but the low profile of the CMC/GVC is unbeatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works great... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/532987-REG/Sennheiser_MZG8000_MZG_8000_Swivel_Joint_for.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How small are the capsules really? Sawrab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawrab look at the pictures of the 8040 or 8050 and you can see where it splits. It's about the middle of the mic, so the capsule side is (I think) a little bigger than Schoeps.

johnpaul215 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Maybe this is something to look at: Peter Engh makes a mini gooseneck for Lectrosonics transmitters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
