I'll have another 416 to use and will be able to purchase one more mic. I was thinking of getting a zeppelin too. Any suggestions overall? I'd like to do more of this type of recording so any tips would be great! thanks |
If you're recording ambiences the 416's probably aren't your best choice. I'd look for something with a broader cardioid pattern & flatter frequency response.
If you're taking the expense & effort to travel to a jungle on another continent to record there, it's worth making sure you're set up to do it right.
