Hola amigos

Hello people, this is my first post to this list. I just have joined
one minute ago. I'm Omar pareja, young sound recordist/ designer
from Lima, Peru


I've been working in a film/sound studio here, and after saving some
money,I want to buy my first professional mic.. I decided for Schoeps
modular system  since this are the mics that we use here and they sound
great..

I have read and now I know about some amplifiers CMC and capsules  MK,
but still I didn't decide about which capsule should I start with..

should I start with the classic MK4  cardioid, or should I buy KM41
hyper cardioid..???

I should say that this mic will be used mostly as boom mic in location
recording in and out doors for short films and some commercial
spots....

I'm still in doubt about that, maybe you guys. with your expericnce may
give me some good advice... That I will really appreciate

saludos

Omar, for what you want to use it for, it's the MK41 for sure. You will need a good suspension/ wind screen/windjammer
or equivalent as well. The MK4 is seriously good, but in most instances with frame sizes varying , you'll need the pull of the MK41 a lot of the time.

As another poster said using a feedback destroyer is not necessarily a good idea on the whole mix as you can end up with a situation whereby the FOH sound ends up sounding more than a bit nasal like it's coming out of a pair of megaphones rather than a reasonably well specified PA system. ... Isolating the exact cause of feedback can be difficult, but re-aligning the angle of wedge monitor to mic or FOH speaker to mic can sometimes help pinpoint the cause as the feedback will either stop or get worse. ... It's a terrible rehearsal environment as all the walls ceiling and floor are all hard reflective surfaces and any sound simply bounces around and finds its way back quite easily into any open mics. ...
