[Ty Ford] “ME66: Student grade
MKH50: Professional grade”
I was actually trying to make a comparison between the ME65 and the MKH50. I only mentioned the 66 shotgun to say that that’s what I tried to use at first, and I thought the ME65 supercardioid, being in the same family, would work for indoors just like the 66 works well for us outdoors. And could you please elaborate on the terms “student grade” and “professional grade”? (Sounds like equipment snobbery.) I realize of course the MKH50 is most probably better, but that’s more than double our budget. I realize the 50 may be the Rolls Royce, or at least the BMW, of indoor boom mics, but is the ME65 at least acceptable for indoor booming, or will it sound like total crap? That’s all I’m getting at.
