Re: [Avid-L2] Shotgun recommendation

 

I'm with Jeff.  Back when I was doing field production, this was my favorite hypercardioid.  BTW, it's actually a plus that the MK41 isn't a "shotgun" as the the capsule itself is very small and separable from the preamp, and thus configured  it's tiny so you can boom from above in a low-ceilinged room where a true "shotgun" won't fit.

My favorite dialog mic, and the standard in Hollywood, is the Schoeps with a MK41 hypercardioid capsule.  Very directional but not a "shotgun."  Schoeps also makes a shotgun mic, but I haven't tried that.

Note that they are very sensitive to handling and wind noise — need a hollow windscreen (BD5) and a shock mount with cable isolation clip for best results — but they are by far the best mic for dialog, bar none.  Not cheap but worth it.
