EDIT: Just realized that the Raven is a DYNAMIC mic, and the Cardinal is a CONDENSER. Big difference lol I noticed that both the Cardinal and the Raven go on sale a lot and I might be interested in checking them out. Does anyone have any experience with these mics and know of the differences between them, good application for them? And please be constructive, don't say they would work best at the the bottom of a lake or something lol Thanks!
