| if this is to ADR something that was originally recorded on location and designed to augment production sound, I would use what the production team used. if it is its own stand alone track not referenced to anything else, this advice does not apply.
if you don't know what the production team used or this is for general use where you might be working with several different teams, you should probably get a Sennheiser MKH60 (short shotgun version of MKH70, close enough to the MKH416 without having to wield a full gun on a desk), Schoeps CMIT 5U, and Sanken CSS-5, as a starter for guns... Sanken COS-11, Sennheiser MKE2 Gold, Countryman B6, Sony ECM-88B, for some lavs...
**edit** never mind, totally misread your question. You just want the pre. Would a Sound Devices mix pre fit your bill? |
