I just sold my pair of DPA 2006c omnis to fund my next big purchase. At the=
moment I have my DPA 4060's to hold me over for binaural and A-B recording=
s but they're not going to cut it for quiet recordings. At this point I hav=
e my eyes on the Schoeps MK2s and the Sennheiser MKH8020's, both matched pa=
irs. THe MK2s are only 1dB louder but the Sennheisers are more resistant to=
moist conditions and are more portable friendly due to their smaller size.=
The thing is I can save about $850 as I have a pair of Schoeps CMC 5U mic =
bodies, so I would only need to buy the MK2 capsules. Is it worth the extra=
$850 for the reasons mentioned? Is there more info on the 8020s that outwe=
igh the MK2s that will justify the extra cash I might need to spend? Are th=
ere another omnis out there that match the audio quality of these mics that=
I could look into? I'm willing to spend up to $3k.=0D
I will primarily be using the omnis for field recording but not limited to=
some sound design and experimental recording such as binaural recording.=
=0D
Any help would be greatly appreciated.=0D
