And the title is a bit misleading as I don't advocate "hiding" mkh
mics, I just consider it "Pro" gear and not "beginner" gear. Just a
word thing as to when someone is considered a "beginner".
My main mics have also become mkh's. Although they are seriously
modified MKH-110's. I gave up trying to get the MKH-110 to perform
as stereo and quad mics in their current design and now have one
oscillator circuit firing all four mkh-110 mics in my quad array.=20
Basically, if you care about the real quiet stuff and want the full
s/n of a mkh mic then you need to stay away from the mkh-110. That is
unless you want to tackle a large project.
I still use and advocate a number of "cheaper" alternatives for a
number of different applications.
