Can the Sanken CSM-50 replace the legendary Sennheiser MKH-50?
In this video, we compare the Sanken CMS-50 Mid-Side microphone with the legendary Sennheiser MKH-50, first as a dialogue recording microphone using just the condenser capsule of the CMS-50 to compare with the MKH-50, and then also recording a live music performance at an outdoor patio in the Mid-Side configuration to get a better sense of the stereo capability. Other than normalizing, no processing has been done to any of the audio.

Thank you to my friend Juneyt for allowing me to record his performance. To learn more about this incredible musician, please check out his Website: https://juneyt.com.
