djmatthill Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Hi there , Just a quick little post.. Iv just aquired a Sennheiser SKM 4031.. wireless Mic.Can anyone tell me what applications they are most suited for ? Iv searched on internet and only found a couple of mentions of it and its quite an old mic but it seems to work fine.. Only thing Iv noticed is , it sounds much better if used about 2 inches away from the mouth... not upclose like sm58`s etc... Was this mic intended for vocal / singing or more tv , presenting style ???? if anyoe had/has one please let me know Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 They were rather nice, and quite a flagship model at the time. Mic technique for TV use often was less in your face than popular nowadays, as the close-in bass heavy sound wasn't wanted - especially for TV. Somewhere I have a similar british ancient radio mic with a Shure 58 capsule, and this too sounds very odd close in, working best a few inches away. If it works, I'd just make sure whoever uses it is aware that swallowing the mic will make them sound very grim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
