I'm for people being aware of all options. Last year a beginner would
have been told that the best mic was the Shure 183, other options, and
it's shortcomings were hardly mentioned. Right now it's a couple Rode
mics that are the darlings. That the premier nature recording mic series
don't get mentioned or discussed (except by me after I give up on anyone
else providing balance) is also wrong. There have been far more quality
nature recordings made on Sennheiser MKH and ME series mics than any
other. There are very good reasons for this, and they should be
discussed more. What I see now is folks only talking about how much one
costs.
I'm tired of being the only person to bring these mics up in the context
of choices for those looking for new mics. I've just about given up
helping beginners in the group because of the level of hassles if I try
to provide balance to the info. If this group is dead set on only
discussing CHEAP options and not discussing the negatives of the same so
be it! Cheap is not a virtue when it's a compromise.
