So the appeal of these mics is to capture higher frequencys than we can hear
& make them apparent through manipulation - pitch shift etc...
immediate sounds i need/want to record include:
- swords
- resonant metal hits & tones
- bowed metal
- gamelan instruments
I have experience with the Sennhesier MKH800 for creature vocals (ie real time pitch shift)
& was very impressed & I can get access to the MKH 8020 so thats looking most likely...
There is talk of an 'S' capsule for them too so it could well lead to a small hi rez MS rig... |
most microphones- including dynamics, will pickup signals above 20k... Metal and bells require more preamp headroom though, since there is so much energy above 10k...
