Vikki, that pair will rock! Trust me.-Richie
The Behringer B5 cost less than the Studio Projects C4... and both mics have the switches, interchangeable capsules, and etc... in fact, both mics are even made by the same Chinese company, 797 Audio.alanhyatt said:The C4 and B5 are the same kind of mic as well, just not the same price.

Sounds like the c4's were hooked up to some quite good preamps and gear, what were you using? We never see much of your gear here in the uk, i think one time you gave me a phone number for one of your uk dealers but i could never get him and he would never ring back, a guy in Shropshire uk (i think)

alanhyatt said:Staying away from mics that are made in China is a bad suggestion, especially when there are many good mics that are assembled there. Yes, there are many bad mics designed and assembled there, but not all of them.
We design our mics here in the USA, but use China to assemble them. So we save on labor but we spec all the components, so we know what our mics will do.
As for the sound of the C4's, well have a listen to this acoustic clip done with the C4's....

To my ears, some of the Chinese LDs are definitely beginning to compete with many of the European and American LDs. The SDs aren't there yet, as far as sound goes.
He just wants to sell his mics. You should ask him about mastering the file also.Vikki said:Alan, you're a bit like a politician, you mention everything but what is asked!

Alan, you're a bit like a politician, you mention everything but what is asked! So what preamps were used with the c4s? I know there are at least two guitars on that track, so did they have a c4 each or a pair each or was the track dubbed? By the way if I'm spending around 700 uk pounds on a couple of mics I'll find the intuition to use it, you might be surprised.
No insult intended
