I have the ATM10a. It's okay. Pretty well built. Sound is just so-so. I guess about what you'd expect in a $100 mic. I haven't used it much but I wouldn't get rid of it because there's no other battery-operated omni pencil mic that I know of and it doesn't cost a lot. It's a solid-built...

Yeah, but I'm hoping it sounds at least okay. I could really use a battery-powered cardioid for field recordings with a minidisc.

Well, I'm hoping it sounds like a KM84 - keeping my fingers crossed.

Here's a video about it: http://www.harmony-central.com/theater/wnamm07_p8.html It's about halfway down, on the left side.

I have heard one. It really is nicer than the price would indicate. I haven't read their marketing materials but if I were getting a tube it would be that one.

The NT3 does have its good points to it but it is a little light on the bass pickup and also can tend to be a bit harsh. My main concern is that the M3 will be an NT3 with a cardioid pattern. I'm hoping that the M3 would be more like an NT5.

And like the NT3.

Not out yet but could come in handy if it's got some bass pickup and is not too harsh. Nice that it doesn't require phantom and is supposed to be quiet. Not many other battery-powered cardioids around, when you think about it. And it's black -- about time they get away from the silver...

I've heard it in a comparison with some other mic's. I think it was on a different site. Sounded very good. Seems to be worth the money for sure.

Why did you guys choose the M models?

How would you compare the Pelusos to the C42s? Is one better than the other?

I see you use the Avensons. I've heard them once and they sounded pretty good. Are you happy with them? I'm just not sure how to use them for live location recording. When I've used omnis in the past the results have been mixed due to the leakage. Just wondering if you could share a bit...

Thanks a lot, Jon. Yeah, it would be great to have a set side-by-side on location and then A/B later and pick your preference. You should keep us informed as you go along as to your impressions of the Beyers.

Mainly, Jon, I'm looking for something as a main stereo pair for location recording, bands or classical. Would you have any thoughts if the Beyer or Peluso would be preferable?

Thanks, Jon, that helped a lot! It was more detailed than what was expected. With the Peluso, what is the main difference between the card and the subcard caps?
