Hey Mark,
Recently tried the ME66/K6 on some nature type stuff, and whilst it isn=E2=
=80=99t a bad mic, it does seem to have a rather unpleasant =E2=80=98brittl=
eness=E2=80=99 to it. Therefore we have concluded that something more expen=
sive is required if quality is important, as you mention.
We are definitely finding that you get what you pay for when it comes to sh=
otgun mics unfortunately!
Tim.

Subject: [Nature Recordists] ME66/MKH616 with omni mic
Hi all, a couple of questions, Shotgun mic in the works hopefully before sp=
ring
arrives.
I have looked at both the Sen ME66/K6 and the Sen MKH416. There is quite a =
price
difference in these mics. I want to go with quality, thats really important=
to
me. Is it worth the extra 5-$600 to purchase the MKH416 over the ME66 to ge=
t
what I am looking for?
The second question. Has anyone used one of these mics with an omni mic (sa=
y an
AT4022 or MKH20)? I guess the idea right now is to 'focus' in on one specie=
s or
bird/amphibian during a morning chorus but also be able to effectively get =
a
good broad ambient reocording at the same time with an AT4022 or MKH20.
Thanks all
