Can I ask a quick question when I blow across the capsule… which I learned is bad for mics the noise floor amplifies 10 fold until I reboot it, is that normal ? I think I just stressed the amp?
Hi, I just want to let you know, that I dont find your video too informative from a standpoint as a mixer (indie, mostly smaller projects). It is nice, that you give a comparision to another mic at the end, but you do not say in any kind, what really makes the CMC641 worth its money. You are just talking about "great sound" and the polar pattern (which you got wrong in the video - but i've seen you corrected it in the title and description) and this is totally not doing the microphone justice. Since you market your video more to indie filmmakers, there are other much cheaper options offering a great sound. Dont get me wrong, I really appreciate your work, but when talking about professional gear from a standpoint of a professional, you should have better points for investing in such an expensive microphone (and giving others the advice to do so). A recommendation I would give to indie filmmakers and aspiring mixers/boom ops for indoor dialogue would be the Oktava MK012 (Movie Kit) it's 199,- which gives you plenty of room to spend your money on other mics or gear to start.
I appreciate your honest feedback Leonard! Yes, I did get the polar pattern wrong in the video unfortunately, but luckily I had the second chance to correct it in the title and description as you referred to. There are many details to cover with this microphone and as you stated, I focused more on the sound quality than what the microphone is made of, or why so many sound mixers use it. I honestly wasn't planning to go that in depth for this video, but rather show viewers what the microphone sounded like and what it came with. I'm sorry you didn't find this video too helpful, but at least you got to hear a microphone comparison. Thanks for watching the review and providing your honest feedback!
@@jeffreyhackmedia Actually, you’re not consistent. You call it a cardioid in some places and a supercardioid in others, in both the video and the description.
I'm glad you found the video helpful. In the way of recording instruments, the Shure SM57B is a popular instrumental microphone that produces great sound in recording studios. When it come to choosing a particular type, that all comes down to style and preference in the way the microphone picks up the sound. In my opinion, you don't need to spend money on a super expensive instrumental microphone to get you started. In regards the Schoeps Microphone, I've only used the Schoeps Colette Series for recording dialogue, but not necessarily instruments. I'm sure it would produce a nice beefy tone be able to capture a wide range of instruments such as an orchestra.
The Schoeps is a "super cardioid" microphone. Super cardioid refers to its pickup pattern. When I recorded this video, I was still learning and was quite honestly fascinated by the microphone. So, my terminology might be a little off 😅

Thanks Jeff. You and Curtis are certainly my two professors! Great information and love your channel
Thank you Richard! I'm happy you're learning more from this channel.
Thanks 🙏🏻 was exactly what I was looking for as I have a deal on a used cmc 6/mk4
Nice! I'm glad the video helped you 😁

what do you think about the cmc1 and is it equal to the cmc6 for corporate video work ? using mk41 capsule

it is a Supercardioid Capsule...
Correct! I mention it in the video.

And a super cardiod is less sensitive from the side, often used in orchestras for picking one instrument.
Thanks for the video... What mics would you recommend for an orchestra? Schoeps Colette Series MK2?

It sounds kinda nasaly here for some reason. Thanks for the video.
Happy to help 😁
are this microphones good to record a grand coda acoustic piano ?
Your video title says super cardioid and you mention cardioid in the video. Are they the same thing?
The Schoeps is a "super cardioid" microphone. Super cardioid refers to its pickup pattern.

You save a couple of bucks when you buy the matched set though haha! $$$$$$
you are not doing that microphone any favors. sounds like you're just using a webcam mic.
Personally I went with a Sennheiser MKH 8050 instead of a used Schoeps.
That is also a great microphone!
