me66? 416? or octava for studio

[brianluce]

If doing sound in 5000 square foot studio with a little reverb, which mic should work better for dialog? me66/k6? octava hyper? or senn 416?

 

[timapter]

my guess is oktava, followed by 416. i dont like me66 much

if there is no reverb in the room , the 416 will sounds usially better - stay away from the 66

the 416 will probably be the best mic for that situation.

you need to have a careful hand pointing that mic to get the best results.

if you were in a low ceiling room like a house the oktava would probably be better.

i have both the oktava's and one 416 and the 416 doesn't get used much anymore because almost everything i do is in houses and smaller rooms not studio's with large rooms and high ceilings.

Our studio does have some reverb. quite a bit. concrete walls and floor. So the octiava?

 

[Jeremy Ordan]

Yes.

If one was to use the Octava, would you recommend the cardioid, or the Hyper-cardioid capsule?

 

[HorseFilms]

Go with the hyper.
