Thanks for advice, cashandkerouac.
As I know, MKH8040 have a better (wider) freq. responce than the MKH40 but don't have built-in pads. Anyway, from the samples I've hear I really prefer the MKH40, it's more natural for my ears, I've noticed that MKH8040 have a bit "phasey" sound (don't know how to name it right.).
My general question is what would be a better main pair for most tasks (workhorse pair):
1) mics with a flat curve all the way like MKH40 (don't know about other mics in this category)
2) mics with a classic bump in hi-end (most SD condensers having this as I know)
What would be more simple to EQ in post if you have a need:
1) remove hi-end bump
2) add hi-end bump
Yes, I know that it would be better to have a lot of mics from both categories for different tasks, but the question is about main pair that covering most of your needs.
I've come to this question after reading a lot how people scold mics for being bright. So I'm just thinking that having a pair with a flat curve like MKH40 should be more advisable and reliable, isn't it? To record as is, and add this bump if you need it. Just my amateur thoughts
