i decided to do my own mic comparision with the following mics:
i recorded a small section of a familiar Pink Floyd song with all mics recording at the same time. i recorded my Takamine with the sound hole about 12 inches directly in front of the mic array. i did this intentionally so i could compare proximity effects, boomyness, and brightness (articulation) with all seven mics in virtually the same sonic environment. i realize this is not perfect, but i feel it does give a good sonic picture of each mic...on this guitar...on this day.
here's the Signal Chain:
mic
=> Mackie 1604VLZ Preamp (out the Insert)
=> Tango 20bit converter with Lucid Genx6 Word clock
=> RME 9652
=> Samplitude
if you want to play, here's what to do. download all seven mp3's (all are at 192bps), listen to each and then match the MP3 Mic number with the mic's listed above. i'll give it a week or so or when 30 listeners have posted, i'll post the real mics and numbers.
thanks...
here's a picture of the Mic setup:
here are the seven mic MP3 files:
