You are correct.

Propack require plugin to power it?

Camera have Phantom power?

Plug the mic into a mixer with phantom power and se if it works. If it does, it's something in your camera setup.

Very well done.

 

Voice-Over Mic Shootout

An exhausting experiment!

About the 414..could be funky mic, could be the match between the mic and preamp. The one thing I've learned about the sound of a mic is that it's the combination of the mic and preamp that determine the sound.

If you'd like to read reviews of mics, I have a bunch of them in the On Line Archives on my site: http://www.tyford.com

I have also just uploaded an mp4 video that compares the Sennheiser 416 with the new Schoeps CMIT shotguns. There's also a mic tutorial mp4 if you want to understand which lavs, shotguns and hypercardioids should be used where.

HI,

After a lot of looking I seem to be coming around to either a Sachtler DV 4 or DV 6. The 6 costs about $500 more, but would give me added weight bearing ability in case I want to add a teleprompter in the future.

Any thoughts?
