Hi there. I'm new. I'm also kind of a cheapskate and I'm exploring a cul-de-sac of expression in which fidelity is not necessarily desired, that you might not recognize as music.
That being said, I do figure that if i am setting up to mic a room in stereo i should have two mics that are pretty similar to each other.
A few weeks back i bought a cheap 33-1070 but i guess all i really kept in mind about it was that it's a 33-1070 and it is black.
Last week i bought a cheap 33-1070D on ebay. It arrived today reeking of hand lotion with red lipstick on the grille.
So i put some hot water and dish soap in the ultrasonic bath, dropped the nasty grille in there set for a 20-minute ride, washed my hands, and noticed that it has a completely different element than my other mic, which turns out to be a 33-1070C.
I had read, here and over at gearslutz, and elsewhere, that the 33-1070 series differ only in the impedance of the coil. That doesn't seem to be the case.
Here's my mismatched pair:
