Vale81 Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Hello guys, I'm new here, nice to meet you, I'm Valerio. A question for those who own a MKH50 and a MKH40. I've compared these two mikes , side by side, same gain on recorder, 15cm to my mouth, on axis. On paper they have the same sens (25mV/Pa) , but the 50 has less , -3-4db respect to 40 (not negligible imho). The noise floor is identical. Did you ever notice the same difference? Something could be wrong on this 50 , or it is just the wider polar pattern of the 40 that catches more sound pressure? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismedr Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Don't have the two mics to compare, but I'd run a second test, 15cm to mouth is pretty close. maybe put a sine wave on a speaker and set up the mics at 1-2m distance and see if the difference persists.
