Been making programmes for TV and all sorts for over twenty years and
I've found the short shotgun Sennheiser such as the 416, K3 ME80 and K6
ME88 to be the most useful and broad spectrum mics ever used. Never had
a problem using them indoors or any other environment, even for the most
quality demanding broadcasters and quite frankly I quickly learned not
to invest my professional integrity in what they might say over at
r.a.m.p.s. Their World is far from definitive!!
