Hello!
I'm looking for a microphone best for recording sound effects.
What I want to record:
- SFX (lighting a match, breaking glass, balloon, etc)
- Vehicles (train, car engine, etc)
- Nature (birds, thunder, rain)
- Foley
Environment:
- Indoor (different small/medium rooms)
- Outdoor (forest, city)
Specifications:
- very low noise level
- fast transient response
- flat frequency response
- cardioid
- small diaphragm
Microphones I got my eyes on:
- Rode NTG3
- Sennheiser MKE600
- Rode NT5
- Neumann KM184
Budget:
around €500,-
Already own:
- Zoom H4n
- RME Babyface
I know I won't probably meet all my requirements in only one microphone, but I'd like to have one that matches most of these. If you have more suggestions for different sounds, please let me know!
Sincerely,
Hans Kroll
