JonO Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Depends......I remember seeing Schoeps CMC-641's used as courtroom mic's on stands in "The Wire" no one was the wiser except a few sound peoples I'm sure. -Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I've used a 641 on a podium in the past with good results. There are a lot of other options but not many that would double as a boom mic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Anderson Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I recently took Eric's advice from this thread: The Countryman M4CP5RF-EB Props picked up the mics, I installed them (2 podiums with 2 mics each) with drill-thru XLR connectors that they found. Worked great, even with fans from overhead moving head lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 2nd these they come in cardioid and Hypercardioid I had a client buy two for his podium set up and they have traveled in a truck all over the country and have held up well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Whoa... " which mic best suit for" boom use and podium use " one mic for both applications ?? one best ?? these are typically different mic's for good reasons, as the applications are typically pretty different. assuming (which I shouldn't) thatthe podium mic is for use in a movie shoot of some sort, then it becomes at the least a collaboration with the art department. hyper-cardioids are frequent crossover choices, but that usually means compromise, not "best"...

Gerard-NYNY Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 you can use two 58s or 57s on stands and gaff the bases down as long as camera cant see the tape. works well nice n cheap. everybody has those mics laying around. put them to work.

VASI Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 From Shure: In most action movies now made, over 90% of the final audio is added after the film was shot, and recorded in a recording studio, not on location. - Burn in hell Shure. http://shure.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 " Burn in hell Shure. " Shure has not been known as the go to brand, not even a major player in our "movie sound" niche, but they have been around a long time, and continue to be doing very well...

studiomprd Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) " never miked a podium before. " podium is a synonym of lectern. I have frequently miked podiums (floor stands, etc.) and lecterns on -and not on- podiums.(desk stands, etc)..
