simon forbes Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Hi all, I've got a job coming up in which the client wants high quality recordings of the various noises made by a large commercial vehicle. Does anyone have any suggestions for mics I could hire for this? I suspect just using my 416 would be a bit disappointing. Thanks in advance Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Reineke Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Probably the same as for a loud car. Large diaphragm dynamics handle high SPL / LF well. Sennheiser 421 for instance. For small loud engine compartments, I've used SM11s, (dynamic lavaliere) and SM58s. SDCs would be ok in the cabin I would think. I wouldn't use a shotgun at all. Stereo mics or pairs for drive-bys.

Constantin Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 And dpa lavs all over the car. With the windjammer in some places. Works really well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Simon, Forgot to include this February 2016 video from Gotham Sound on recording Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee (probably doesn't apply to your specific need, but fun anyway): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
