Hi,
I know keys/pads noise is something to live with when using to clip on microphones. Despite that I saw videos on YouTube on which these microphones perform very well in this department.
In this video the Shure Beta 98HC picks almost nothing of keys/pads noise:
Shure Beta 98HC, Beta 57A & Rode NT2A
In this video the AKG C519ML picks almost no noise while it's noticeable on the Beta 98HC and annoying on the Sennheiser:
Shure Beta 98HC, AKG 519C & Sennheiser e908
In this video Beta 98HC is the quietest and the AT-350U is the most noisy, the DP 4099 is between them.
Shure Beta 98HC, ATM-350U & DPA 4099
While in this video is the opposite, the C519M picks more noise than the Beta 98HC:
Shure Beta 98HC, AKG C519 & DP 4099
In this video the AKG C519M picks almost no noise:
AKG C519 & SD LCM89
The AKG C519 performs great in this video, even when compared with a top notch studio microphone:
AKG C519 & Neumann TLM-102
And the same in this video:
AT 2020, Behringer C2, Shure SM 57 & AKG C519
Now the questions...
Thank you very, very much in advance.

Now the questions...
- What makes a clip on microphone to pick more pads/keys noise in the recordings?
- What could help to reduce it?
- Why sometimes the Beta 98HC does it better than the C519M and sometimes does it worse?
- I have an old SM98 with the A89KCS clip, would the C519 or the Beta 98HC offer a better noise isolation?
- If I eventually "upgrade" my SM98 and buy a new C519 or Beta 98HC for getting a better isolation, how much (if any) sound quality would I sacrifice?
Thank you very, very much in advance.
