4073a is a better value then the 416. Listen.

Re: 4073a is a better value then the 416. Listen.

I agree with Taubkin with one consideration... the 4073a had to be turned down 2 "dots" on the little DVX dials... to match the 416's output. In another words the 4073a is almost 20% hotter... sometimes that's a good thing, but not in a situation where you need to pluck desired sound from undesired sound. There is PLENTY of gain in a DVX to run a normal mic through quiet to loud audio... so even though the 4073a is a more sensitive mic I find the 416 is generally more usable in tough conditions.

A lot is going to come down to how well you use whatever mic you get... proper positioning and booming will make all the difference in the world.

But matt, just a question: you are going to buy a CS-1? Why? Do you think it can be better than a 416? Shouldn't you save some more and get a CS-3, since your short shotgun needs are pretty much covered by the Senn? Do you think the greater off-axis rejection of the CS-1 could justify having them both?
