@spacewig Ok. Superlux S241 has been on market at least from year 2008, so I find it strange no-one else than you have made same conclusion.
I have no idea though my guess would be due to reputation. But let me be clear, what I am trying to communicate - based on my experience as I have been recording all dialogue with both the Oktava & the Superlux - is that the S241 is in no way inferior to the Oktava yet it is quite a bit cheaper. I personally don't give a shit what anyone else is buying, I'm simply sharing my opinion on this forum much like everyone else. If no one ends up buying this microphone it certainly is of no consequence to me.
If this Superlux is so great, why it seems that so many people chooses Oktava instead?
Shot a few more interviews since my last post. All I can say is WOW. Very good microphone, no need to add air. Totally recommended for anyone looking for an affordable SDC!
Thanks @spacewig! Can't wait to take a listen when I get home from work.
Oh, sorry VK. I thought for the purist anything less than a .wav file was blasphemous... If you want to delete them I can upload in your preferred format.
I think 320mbps mp3 can be enough :-)
Raw takes attached below.
Awesome, I've been looking at that mic. Do you have any dialogue samples?
That's where I got mine. I think that's already ridiculously cheap but I mentioned it just in case.
To be fair to Oktava the -10db pad is completely unnecessary for dialogue recording, unless you have the mic shoved down the throat of some excessively loud individual. Having said that, the S241 can apparently handle 143db SPL. I doubt the poor fucker who validated that owns an iPod...
About deal, I doubt it.
