Your opinion on the Audix SCX1 for Indoor Dialog recording for film.

[Larry Vaughn]

Which model SCX-one one do you have? They come in Onmi, Cardioid and Hyper Cardioid flavors. The photos I’ve seen on ebay and even bhphoto frequently show the wrong capsule for the model they are advertising.

To Eric / Nick –

Sorry, I know this is an old thread…

I’m about to buy something like the MKH-50, mainly for indoor use. Good reach and low noise is what I’m after. But this supercardioid / hypercardioid labelling is confusing my brain a bit. From what I have read, hypercardioid should have more reach and more off-axis rejection, and yet the MKH-50 is listed as supercardioid, while the Audix SCX1-HC as hypercardioid.

I’m not at all questioning your wisdom on this – just looking for good advice and clarification.

Thanks
