Title: beijing olympics ceremony - schoeps?
Post by: Alexandru Petrescu on August 11, 2008, 06:13:03 AM
During the opening ceremony Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, these microphones looked as Schoeps (the grey), but I can't seem to find them in catalogue.  Are they Schoeps or something else?

yeah, I'm guessing with all the chinese-made mics on the martket, the chinese government isn't using German mics at the olympics

the pic from the Asian Winter games...definitely Schoeps, the olympics pic I would say is not.

watching a press conference yesterday, it looked like they were using a schoeps on a gooseneck table mount.

The winter games is probably Schoeps, but could be the new Sennheiser MKH 8000 series.

No idea what the other is - it's too fat for Schoeps.

Exactly what I thought.
