Hi Don,

You may have come across this post before here on the site, but it's a great comparison of the 875r and the 416.

It may or may not help you with these two mics, but I found it to be quite surprisingly interesting!

I listened to your demos. I'd recommend the 416 or an EV RE-20 for you.

The RE20 will be more forgiving for poor acoustics. Both will sound good for narration. The RE-20 sounds cleaner than an SM7B, to my ears.

I've never had sibilance trouble with an NT1A on my voice or my wife's.
It is a very revealing mic, in a good way, so it won't cover up any issues with imperfections in your tone or control. With some voices, the NT1A sounds fantastic.


I've found the RE 20 much more quiet and forgiving than the SM7B (had both here for a while)

MKH 416 still needs a good room whatever anyone may tell you. A very particular sound. Never found the lows to be lacking - quite the reverse!

Hey Don!

Long time, no see! I've got a C1, with the Bonnell mod if you want to try it, or a tlm103. Also, while you're auditioning mics, pick up the EV RE320. I've got a buddy out here that actually prefers it to his Gefell M930 ts! Loves it 'on his voice.'***

PM me if you want to borrow my C1 and/or 103…
