    Advice needed in deciding between a Sennheiser ME-66/K6 and a Audio Technica AT-897 (rev.)

    Posted by Scaramouche on August 7, 2005 at 9:34 pm

    I’m trying to decide between a Sennheiser ME-66/K6 vs an Audio Technica AT-897 for my new 100A.\

    My primary work is in schools doing somewhat candid videotaping of teachers and needing to shut out extraneous noise.

    I also plan to do a school centered documentary.

    Any advice regarding either mike appreciated.

    Also, will I need an adapter to connect either to the XLR input on the 100A?
    Will either need an additional mount? Additional power supply?

    thanks.

    Hi I have the Sennheiser combination and its a great mic but you will oick up ambience I think for what you are going to do a lav setup is required. I use a Sony wired lav or a samson uhf wireless both work great . Have no knowledge of the Audio tecnica
