Extre,ely poor mic placement. The beta 54 is designed to go at the corner of the mouth (not the middle), and the countryman series is designed to go farther back to eliminate breathing noises. These facts are in the manuals that came with each mic. Please read manuals before using!

You did a comparison video and stuck an unprotected H6 practically in front of your mouth causing a lot of plosives and compared that to 2 other mics with foam wind protection?

Thanks for an excellent review. I hear your point that the C H6 wind screen was uncomfortable and causing other extraneous issues, but that makes the plosive, ss-ing, and wind comparison unfair. The DPA is definitely impressive, the Shure really ugly, but the Countryman should have gotten a little better shot, since its biggest failure was arguably a result of the lack of windscreen.

For this video to really matter it would be important to know if the dpa is Omni or cardioid, they come in both.

Great comparison. I have similar findings with my own KZitem channel videos. There's DPA and then there's the rest. Nothing compares!!! However, one thing. The Shure SM35 is a decent mic, but when you put it where the manual tells you to, IT SOUNDS LIKE SHIT!!! You have to have it lower than it says - not at the edge of your mouth, pointing up. The manual explicitly tells you not to do this, but if you use it the way Shure tells you to it will sound like crap. I only mention because I see you put the Shure in front of your mouth, which is why there's so many plosives.

That is a good point. I use the Shure PGA31, which is definitely at the bottom of the barrel, compared to these mics, but I wear it to the side of the mouth, more like the DPA setup, and I have none of those popping/ss-ing/proximity issues I hear from your Shure Beta 54. It would be bizarre for the high-end Shure to be inferior in those areas to their cheapest unit. I'm guessing Louis' suggestion is right on, given my own performing experience, that adjusting the Shure Beta to side address would improve both its performance and its appearance.

I think the Countryman H6 and the Shure Beta 54 were too close to his mouth. I say that because it seemed like they were picking up the p sounds a lot.

Great demo. I do have a question of why you didn't evaluate the Shure Beta 53 (omni). The pickup patterns of DPA and Countryman are both omnis and the Beta 54 is supercardioid.
@brianroskamp1988

indyboy45 The DPA and Countryman both come in either omni or cardioid, the model numbers weren't included for those mics, but based on the results I'm fairly certain the cardioid versions were used for all the mics.

Fredtimbo well, DPA objectively makes better mics, they are well out of the price range for most people which is why most people never hear about them. You might not have heard of them but you have heard them if you've ever watched a movie, which is what alot of movies use to capture near perfect flat frequency responses. If you get one you would sell your countryman.. not to say country men are not good, just on on the same level as DPA. Hope that helps..

@@Fredtimbo You can claim bias all you want. But do yourself a favor and read up on comparison between the two. DPA is the industry standard for theater. That's a fact, not an opinion. For smaller scale uses, it's not worth buying the DPA as it is expensive. The Countryman is great for it's own price range.
