Schoeps CMIT-5U and sexy......
Lemme tell ya what.....
Put this animal through it's paces today........
Ouch.........
And...you know what?, that B6 countryman, even with the G2 set, is't too shabby either.
The artist we are shooting in Colorado has a "very sexy voice", that is nailed with the Schoeps.
ME66's with all the goodies still on the block - not the Schoeps, but they will get the job done.
All the best,

I know I hit a nerve when posting my opinions about the 416... but puh-leaze, don't go whining to the moderator. ;-)
How about this? Since everyone is so full of opinions regarding mics (and who wouldn't be?), why don't we post 30 second uncompressed AIFFs of properly recorded vocal samples from each mic in question, so that users can compare for themselves??? That way, when people say s*it about someone else's s*it, they can sonically back it up?
Of course, the samples should be properly recorded with equipment that is commonly used in the production world.
I'm perfectly willing to host the samples and make a nice web page upon which they can live. Please send me email (gregpen >at< mac dot com) or PM me and let the games begin.
best regards,

OK I don't think the Rode is in there, it was not out when these comparisons were done, but all the other major ones are covered. Granted to really test a mic you need hear brighter voices in addition to the deep voice of Beaser. But I don't know anyone who has access to all those mics and the time to really put the mics through their paces...maybe someone will take up the cause.
Opinions do run strong but as has been said a million times before, except for the ME66 and Oktava, more money gets you a better mic. Beyond that it is purely a matter of opinion. I think everyone here does a good job of expressing that.
As for saying sh*t about the me66...listen to the comparisons and see...errr hear for yourself.
Cheers

waha! i love how people put smilies when they are bitchin. ;-) ha ha!
that moderator thing was a joke, man. I just cant believe you said that.
The thing about shotgun samples is that:
A) as wabbit said, its been done
b) its not often applicable to anyone as a purchase decision, because if it wasnt recorded on YOUR brand of mixer, in YOUR common sonic working environments, with THE VOICES YOU ARE RECORDING, its hard to tell whether you will like a mic for your sort of work.
The fact is this: in a studio, when close mic'd and properly recorded, it becomes harder to pick shotgun mics apart. Not impossible, sure, (i can still tell a 416 by sound alone), but the divide becomes smaller. Shotguns are REAL WORLD mics, and the difference between the cream and the cr@p becomes obvious only after you physically WORK with a few different types.

And even if you have cr@p, properly used it can be as good as the improperly used cream?
