Re: I just got kicked out for using the wrong mics. What did I do wrong?
A point to remember is that a higher than the usual percentage in the population of company executives are sociopaths; How To Survive a Sociopath Boss - Forbes
Not saying this applies in this case, but they tend to fit into large company structures. |

The Schoeps equivalent to the 416 is the CMIT 5U. But the Schoeps is an AF mic. and the 416 is an RF mic. See THIS for the explanation. |

Their act is bogus and easy to see through. Sue if it's worth the time and energy, but given what I've heard, I bet you'll be happier moving forward and never dealing with the client again. Be thankful that they gave you the privilege of splitting before you did the work. These are the type of clients that can drag you on and on, not send payment, give you the runaround, etc. Onward and upward! Thank you for sharing. |

It sounds like they found another sound guy and were looking for an excuse to ditch you. I am always wary of clients who think they know better than the guy they hire. I would just invoice them for your time, and if you had a contract then they have broken the contract. I wouldn't spend any money on taking them to court as I think it will drag on and on.
The 416 mike may still be of serviceable value, but as a professional you should ensure you have the best and latest gear to hand, maybe it is time to invest in some more up to date equipment, if only to keep up your professional status. The 416 will always come in handy as a backup mike. |

The 416 is an excellent mic and one that I use regularly.

Exterior shoot eh? Should have called some biker friends to circle the set.
BtW, the 416 is very much a current go-to mic for me, but I've only been at it for 26 years. I do wish you would name the company who did this. |
