Microphone test PT 2. - Røde NT5 vs Schoeps CMC 6. Cheap vs expensive
This will be interesting!
I compare two popular pencil condenser microphones with very different price tags when the Røde NT5 meets the Schoeps CMC 6. Cheap meets expensive.
Can you hear the difference?
Always searching for the perfect fiddle mic. Is one of these two it?
The fiddle/violin sound can be hard to capture properly in the studio. There are so many frequencies going on, and many times the recorded sound can be harsh, trebly and/or not true to the original sound. There is a lot you can do with EQ, but nothing beats a proper mic that gives justice to the instrument. A smooth top end is usually preferred when recording fiddles.
I´m not voting for a winner here. They both sound good in my opinion, but with quite different characters. What do you think?

too many room reflections to even tell
Scharps is more natural, and more pleasing.. It’s vers subtle, though. I’m considering the Røde NT-5 for acoustic guitar. Thank you for the video!
Love
On Huawei 40Pro mobile 😊 i hear no difference, so when ie entire band is being recorded, the difference would be impossible to hear on headphones either, i couldnt afford the most expensive mics, so my choice would be simple. 🙂. I hope NT1 is suitable for cellos, i am thinking of NT1 but 5th gen. Awesome performance though its only for testing.
Thank you! 🎻
They are both great individually but when they come together they SHINE.
But without A-B test , I can’t tell the difference 🤣🤣🤣🤣
NT5 is peaking around 800hz to 2k. Schoeps is a very pleasing, even sound. I have a pair.
Absolutely amazing
Enjoyed your fiddling. Also, I liked the sound of NU-100 best. Thanks for making the video.
Thanks!
The Schoeps is more clear and resolved sounding and natural. The Rode has similar midrange, but not as much top end resolution. One could get away with the NT5 in a dense mix with non featured tracks and probably not tell much of a difference.
Great video. I honestly can't hear a huge difference. Maybe my ears aren't as good as they used to be after so many years of music. Enjoyed this comparison. Nice fiddle playing also
Thank you!
Ma quanto hanno studiato questi?😂😂
Just a few minutes
@@olmification 🤣🤣
I have a playlist with numerous songs by these guys on it. This might be my absolute favourite track of them all!
amazing both of them!
❤❤❤
Great shootout! I really like the focused carracter of the wa84, very fast transient response compared to the nu-100k. Does the nu-100k have a slightly wider polar pattern? Really shows in the hardingfele shootout. The nu-100k might be better in closer placements than wa84.
Thanks, Åsmund! They both sound good in my opinion, and it's not always easy to tell the difference. But like you say, it shows more in the hardingfele shootout where more frequencies and transients are in action. I think that the NU-100k is a little bit more detailed, but for some reason I usually end up with the WA-84s when I record violin. It could also just be that the 84 suits my instruments and/or playing style better. The NU-100K is more versatile, and you can also choose between different polar patterns, which I didn't mention in the video. It was set to cardioid (of course) in the video. I have some ideas for some more tests, and maybe you have some ideas too.?
I Agree, the 84 was really great on the violin. Might be interesting to change mic depending on forground/background placment in the mix, utilize the transientresponse of the mic for added depth and slight difference between layers. Allways fun with new mics! If youd like, we can do a shootout @ Nyhavna next time your in town, combine our mic lockers and make a shootout? :)
@@aasmundr great idea!
Definitely lower strings sound fuller on CMC. Plus transient (attack) is night and day difference in favor of Schoeps. Listened on iPhone. I am sure monitors would only highlight these differences.
Man its annoying to see the "Rullstråk" looking so effortless! Makes me mad! 🙃
I have a tough time trying to answer the question: Is Olav Myelva or Duncan Chisholm the better violinisr?
The e string sound more harsh with Rode NT5. Seems like schoeps makes the e string warmer.
Here in the USA you can get a used NT5 for about 100 dollars. So I guess the ultimate question is, Is it worth the extra 700-1000 dollars for that extra warmth, or adjust the treble in post. I think for a professional like you the CMC6 might be worth it but for violinists that just want a good mic for things like CZcams, maybe NT5. This is the best comparison video for violinists interested in these mics. Thanks!
Nyckelharpa- I had never even heard of this instrument. It sounds great. The Hardanger fiddle- 8 string- is very resonant. Great job. It might have 10 strings, instead.
Both instruments are beautiful. Intricate and unique in construction, they bring style to sound, like rhythm does to poetry. What is that instrument? Not the fiddle, the other one? Please.
It's a Nyckelharpa
Awesome. Is the hardanger you're playing here a hybrid of sorts? It almost looks like a 5 string violin with the added sympathetic strings.
It’s a 5 string hardanger fiddle in A, so a hybrid is a good description.
Väldigt medryckande!
You touch my soul with this amazing sound ❤
Thank you!
Listening with my studio monitors I couldn't hear much of a difference, but then with the headphone on the first part I could hear the CMC 6 were like 5% louder and a little more balanced. Then at the end (with EQ and Reverb) the NT5 felt more far, but I think the Røde is totally worth for its price
I agree! It's totally worth it, but I would still go with the Schoeps for recording fiddle. It's a bit warmer and doesn't really need a lot of EQ
Also, this tune is great! do you teach this tune?
Thanks! Which one of the tunes are you thinking about?
This mic set up is amazing!
It works quite well!
Great playing. We also have a pair of NU-100k at home and we are very pleased with them.
Nice playing and demo, Olav! The NU-100K sound fuller to me in the low end and the upper mids are also more pleasant than the WA-84. The WA-84 has more treble. Recording fiddle solo, I would go for the NU´s, but in a dense mix, the WA might do the trick! Anyway I feel that the NU needs a little eq lift on the treble, especially on the Hardangerfiddle, to really hear the sympathetic strings. In my studio, the Sennheiser MKH-40 are always a winner on fiddle (and many other instruments). Lately I have also been testing out a pair of Coles 4038 in combination with a brighter condenser. Sound very pleasant an full, but the Coles needs eq lift in the 8-16k region.
Thanks! I need to check out the MKH-40 then. I’ve recorded quite a bit with the Coles, but I don’t own one myself. For some reason I’m drawn towards the Royer SF-12, but I haven’t tried it yet.
Yeah, the Royers are nice! More treble than the Coles. I have a 121 mostly used for electric guitars (and btw you have been recorded with the MKH-40, in Strandebarm Skyttarhus a long time ago!)
This is so damn good! It's pure magic to the ears!
Thank you!
It would be wonderful if someone could lead us through a video on how this instrument works….it’s tuning….and general information on the key mechanism.
So the sympathethicstrings on a Hardangerfiddiel goes under the frat?.
Yes!
fug ya'll shred
So fascinating seeing the hands up close 😮
These two instruments are perfect together! Beautiful piece gentlemen!
Thank you!
This is beautiful. Thank you.
