Thank you for being the first person to accurately describe the figure 8 (and other) polar patterns. So many people say something like “this is what it sounds like from the side” or “this is what it sounds like from the back”. Nope… that’s what the room sounds like when the mic is pointed in a different direction. I see so many people talk into the back of a cardioid mic and say that’s what the mic is picking up from the back… that’s what the front is hearing bouncing off the desk and screen. Figure 8 has so much potential when strategically placing that 90 degree null. Thank you!

I have a similar experience with sE electronics. While I haven’t tried as many of them as you, I’ve been left impressed by all their mics I have used. Especially the V7. Last month I contacted sE Electronics to encourage them to develop a super or hypercardioid capsule for the sE8. Much to my delight a rep quickly responded and told me they’ve “just kicked off the project and will be making progress rapidly.” They expect to be able to share more in 3-4 months from the time of their reply. This is all to say I would LOVE if you got your hands on a super/hypercardioid sE8 and put it through the TPS wringer. ❤

If sE8 hyper comes out, yep, it'll be a winner.

Wow. Just wow. And even before you said it, I thought the song had the most professional sound of the songs you've done. You've done songs just as complex with the number of instruments and "singers," but just as you said, this sounds like something I would hear on the radio or an album (real album). All of your recordings have been excellent, of course, but this one has something different. This mic is awesome, and so is the price. I have a Sennheiser MK4 that I use for voice overs, and I will be using it more this year. Whenever I feel it is time to step up from that mic, I think the 4400 will be "the one." How is the pick-up from 2 or 3 feet when on the hyper-cardioid setting?

Hey there. Thanks! Well, the Atlantis has a self noise of 13dB-A, which is the same as a Neumann U87. It’s not the quietest mic. I think the quietest mic is the Røde NT1. I would say NT1a but that mic so so terrible that it should be burned with fire. The 4400 is also 13dB-A self noise. The 4400 is better than most mics I’ve tried up to $1300. But the Atlantis is so special! If you get a chance to try that mic, you should. Sometimes renting a mic before buying is a great way of figuring out if it’s the right one for you.

Ok, so you just cost me $400 pal. I was (based on your review of reviewers) going to get an AT 2020. This is my first studio mic purchase and I've been watching/reading/listening to reviews for weeks trying to decide what to get but I just kept getting this sort of itchy/tight feeling in my crotchal region when I went to press the buy now button. Something just said, "No. Don't touch me there. It's inappropriate in the mall." Then I found this one, took off my tinfoil helmet, settled in with a nice glass of poutine (is that a thing?) and watched this review. Aaaaaaaand now I have to have one. What I wanted was a good quality, relatively flat mic but one that was good for a voice like yours, which is a lot like mine. One that was... versatile. And here it is. Reviewed by someone that I didn't immediately think was a tool. (That would be you by the way. Not a tool.) So I just wanted to say thank you for the awesome review. Thank you for the song. Thank you for not being a tool. You have a new sub, a host of likes and if this mic doesn't suck I'll buy you a cup o coffee. Or poutine. Or whatever it is you guys drink up there when it's not frozen.😁 EDIT: Looks like I won't be buying one yet. Your amazon link goes to what one reviewer complained was a broken listing. He only received a capsule, not an entire mic. Amazon doesn't seem to carry the whole mic. Do you have an affiliate link to some other vendor? EDIT 2: never mind. I found your sweetwater link on a newer video. Enjoy your twelve cents or whatever you get for a sale through it. :)

Hi! Great video! You said about field ecording, but have you tried it? I am still considering my choices. On paper Lewitt 540S seems better for quiet sources, but it's cardioid only, and multipattern 640TS is pricier. Seems like 4400 are also smaller, so it would be easier to fit in windprotection stuff. Initially I wanted to go with Clippy's, but i do prefer the sound of ORTF. That said multipattern gives me freedom of any stereo array i would imagine and be in need of M-S, A-B, XY, ORTF, you name it. Would sE4400 really cope with field recording? Would they handle quiet sources?
@TheRecordist
3 ай бұрын
Hey thanks! Great comment and questions! Here’s what I think. For ambience field recording that requires low frequency capture from some distance, omni is the only way to go - since cardioid (or even figure 8) loses low end information the further away you are from the source. While in theory, multi-pattern large diaphragm condenser mics can work with field recording, they’re not ideal. The figure 8 is not as precise as, say, a small diaphragm condenser in figure 8. Also, wind will always be a huge problem. However, I’ve known about many a recordist who have used LDC mics in the field. I seem to see Røde NT1 or NT1a mics employed for that (just cardioid) and they seem to work well for ambiences due to the insanely low self noise. They just need a huge and expensive blimp per mic, along with further internal foam to protect the capsule. That said, I wouldn’t ever buy a Lewitt for any purpose. But that’s just my own preference. I find them brittle and a bit shrill, unless getting into the tube mic versions - which are much noisier. The 4400 is one of the best sounding mics I’ve ever heard. It works on everything. And it’s rather robust, but would I take it out in the field? Probably not. As tough as they claim it is, that’s not something I think I’d do if I was outdoors. Indoors, absolutely. I think the 4400 could handle quiet sources, but they’re not as quiet as the NT1. I hope I’ve somehow answered your questions. Haha.

@@TheRecordist Yeah, thank you! As for the wind, I am 100% positive that I would have to go DIY route. As for the rest I guess I am the only one that can answere that. But I think that multi pattern would be so high on priority list, that I would sacrifice a little on self-noise/sensitivity end. Truth being, often it is not that hard to just get closer to the subject. And versatility/quality of that stereo pair would probably save me descent amount of money. I still have some time left before buying, so I will just continue my search for best set for me. Thanks! I surely will ask some more questions i other videos comment section!

The Sony C80 is a fantastic mic, but I would choose the 4400 over it all day long. That’s my opinion. It may not be yours or others. Great question!

Ok, stop it 😂 Now I am in love with the Lauten Audio 320 v2, the se T2, this one, and the Sennheiser 416. They all sound insane in your narrations. But here is the problem. If I want to buy a Lauten Audio in Spain, the onkt option is an obscure shop in Madrid that shows it's prices without VAT (absolutely illegal and doesn't generate any confidence in their service) or Se in Amazon Spain, without prime protection and the only comment wonderful 440 is that all se catalogue is a mess and they don't deliver the promised models... Honestly, I hope thesee companies do something about it, because after watching your reviews my only concern is which affordable sound interface should I buy, Ps: so great songs! But what blows my mind is the introduction at the beginning of theb L.A 320❤

Oh man. I didn’t know that about Spain. I will forward your observations to the companies. I’m really sorry about that. Let me see what I can do. But yes. The LA-320 is incredible! Lauten Audio is incredible period. Thanks so much for the compliment! I’ll get back to you!

Hey. Trent at Lauten Audio got back to me. He recommends the following stores to purchase your LA-320: Either: Mastering Mansion in Madrid: masteringmansion.com/pro-audio/categorias/microfonos-valvulares/la-320-large-diaphragm-tube-condenser-black-mk2/ Or Thomann: www.thomannmusic.com/lauten_audio_series_black_la_320_v2.htm Let me know if this works for you!

What’s the difference between the se4400a and se4400

Hey. Well as far as I can tell, the shockmount has had a total makeover and the body. The 4400a had a rubberized body and this is heavy metal. It’s also been made more rugged for daily use. Hope this helps!

That’s a great question! I won’t know until I’ve had a chance to play with it, but as far as I’ve been hearing, the T2 is edgier and has quicker and more pronounce transients. I’m trying to get one to test up against the 4400.

@@TheRecordist No big deal ;) I only really noticed because I was surprised by the fact that hey were using a center terminated (k67 style) capsule when clearly trying to emulate the c414 which is the edge-terminated ck12 capsule. Either way, it seems to work. This is on my shortlist for next mic purchase. Thanks again.

@@narrator-timothymckean honestly, this mic is better than it should be. It’s insanely balanced and sounds so good on anything I’ve used it on. If I could choose one mic - a desert island mic - it’ll be this one. I can’t recommend it enough.
