Love this video! I just discovered the MKH 50 and how much of a Hollywood staple it is. Funny enough I have the MKE 600 and I think it’s fantastic, especially with a bit of post processing.

Great review , the 600 sounds great for the money , I have one and a 416 would love a 50 though

Fabulous video from the Wiemels 'in the closet' period. The MKH 50 is a fantastic piece of gear and I guess if you used it for 40 years and divided the cost by 40, it would be quite a bargain. I didn't like the high frequencies of the Saramonic tbh. The NT 5 sounded excellent too but I was quite impressed by the MKE 600 and the sound per pound it delivered (I'm UK based of course). Your videos are superb Mark and I'd like to thank you for supporting the M50 over the years, they've been a great source of information - not sure I've said that before to you. Thanks from the bottom of my heart for the closet years. Here's to even better things from your new posh studio.

I have to admit as a studio engineer I wouldn't have imagine that such a microphone would sound nearly as good pointed above one's head indoor... mind blown. It takes about zero room resonance, and it also means that you're gonna have zero plosive issues. That's a really really interesting thing for home studio recording, since you can put a carpet on the ground, but something on your back wall and call it a go! I was looking for a mic to just suspend on top in my living room to make acoustic covers, and not to have to think about set-up. This is the one. Thanks!!!

MKH 50 is definitely great for interior use as it doesn’t suffer from the proximity effect that can plague the MKH 416. However, for exteriors, the 416 will often outperform the 50. Especially with wider shots where you can’t get the 50 close enough. In summary, if you’re shooting a combination of interiors and exteriors, you should own both.

@@jas_bataille The first mic that put Rode on the scene was a Neumann U87 clone, actually a Chinese Neumann clone that Rode modified for a flatter frequency response. It's certainly different today but most newer brand mics are more or less clones of classic microphones by vintage brands, especially in the capsule field. There hasn't been much innovation in the last 40-50 years. Except for accessory functions of course, like safety channel or internal recording.

MKH50 is the only "pro" microphone here. I would call the others semi pro. Worth mentioning is how light the weight is. You barely notice it when mounted on a boom. Because it is so short it can get closer than a shotgun and keep out of frame.. Most people don't consider the actual element (diaphragm) in a shotgun is NOT at the end of the tube but way back in the body. So the length of the interference tube is a limiting factor. Shotguns are great outdoors or in large spaces. They have more off axis rejection. The MKH50 and other hyper cardioid mics are usually better than a shotgun indoors. Less phase comb filtering. The next step up is Schoeps CMIT at double the cost.

Review the Schoeps mics.

The 50 gives a more full sound, with lots of bass, giving that more “radio voice” sound. 416 is very hyped in the top end, lots of detail and clarity, a perfect asmr mic, but can even be a bit harsh at times, and need some eq to tame it. The 600 is more balanced and natural, maybe it doesn’t jump out at you like the 416 or 50, but I know people that prefer it over the 50 and the 416. The 600 is a great mic and I could not recommend it highly enough. They are all such good mics, it’s really about personal preference.

Using the MKH 50 for youtube content is like buying Jaguar for your daily 30 minute commute across town. Sure, it will get you there in style, but a VW Golf would've gotten you there just as well. Professional film sound technicians love the 50 because the authoritative low-end works well with the often inopportune placement we have to put up with when booming, and the pickup pattern sounds natural and fluid when cuing the mic between different actors on a boompole. If you're doing talking head youtube content, and have every opportunity to place sound treatment in your home studio, the wise move is to just get something like the Oktava Mk-012-01, and throw on a bit of low-end EQ if you feel your voice needs it. Your home studio is an almost ideal situation for recording sound, and the benefits of a mic like the MKH50 really only come through in less opportune situations. Save your money. Also, remember the medium you're working in. On a film set, microphones have to be out of frame, or hidden. Not so on youtube! Loads of youtube creators use large diaphragm condensers on studio stands planted right beside their face. It's an accepted trope of the medium, and if you are only doing talking-head content, a perfectly acceptable way to capture great audio with equipment that's less expensive than a professional hypercardioid.

@@markwiemels it’s just a box with acoustic foam mounted internally on five of the six sides with the mic either mounted or handheld basically within the sixth open side. It creates essentially an acoustically dead environment with practically no reverb at all. Your head has to be practically inside it to ensure the audio is top notch. Setup and take down time for mine is usually around 20-60 seconds depending if the foam is fiddly. They range in price on Amazon Japan from around $50 to just under $1000 and marketed as either sound boxes, sound proofing boxes and vocal booths/audio booths (for the larger walk-in/sit-in ones). I made mine out of an almost 90 year old Japanese wooden pottery crate with 2 inch acoustic foam (essentially 3 inches deep in the corners). The foam just sits loosely within it and I can take them out and mount them to a different board (3 inches away from the wall in a 4’x2’ panel) such as when I shoot the video portion and need to dampen both the base frequencies by having them bounce between the board and the wall and to dampen the reflection from my voice. Where I record is in an absolutely acoustically horrible room. It’s thin felt carpet on cement with a very thin underlay, with no pictures or anything else at all on the painted walls, no furniture or bookshelves of any kind barring a hard yet light wooden table, a few cheap wooden chairs and no other acoustic foam anywhere yet still get excellent results. To treat the same room and yield similar results requires setting up floor to ceiling base absorbing foam in two corners, plus on the ceiling, the aforementioned 4x2 board, a beach tent with my camera and ring-light stuffed within the entrance and me sitting in the middle and a very heavy comforter draped over the beach tent to absorb most of the sound. The sound has to pass through the tent, into the comforter, then reflects off the walls, then back into the comforter before reaching the mic. It works surprisingly well… that said, set up/take down time for all lights and acoustic treatment is at least 3h before I can get any shooting in. Personally I like your studio, it’s about the size of my apartment (82sq feet). The audio sounds great even though I don’t see a ton of foam. My “studio” is a shared office space that I use on Sundays. It has to be fully returned to normal each and every time I use it.

Meanwhile people listening it with earplugs from a dollar store 🤣as many on phone speakers. So, in other words - if you have interesting content, people will watch it no matter what mic you use.

Shotgun mic is a complete waste of money indoors. It is made to discriminate sound from unwanted sources - not wanted sounds bounced off walls. Whatever mic you use, something needs to be done with the sound bouncing off walls. In a controlled environment effort should be put into soundproofing the walls. Even when being in an environment you cannot control where there are walls, a shotgun mic is not a good idea. A better choice is to soundproof the mic the same way we windproof it but with a tube with thicker walls. The main focus when buying a mic should be sensitivity, self-noise, and frequency response. All mics in this video have a poor frequency response in the lower region except for MKH 50. Maybe also MKE-600 when not being too critical. You can achieve this for less than $300 staying away from shotgun mics. Getting good sound is 10% mic and 90% adapting to the environment, with one exception: mic arrays, but this is a whole other topic.
