Not to beat a live horse, but a tune I did using only a B1 was reviewed in this month's Recording mag. Given my small and very modest home studio, I was pleased to see the reference to the acoustic instruments I recorded with the B1, with minimal EQ or other processing and no external mic pres. Per Marty Peters in the October issue: "The acoustic guitar is very well presented, particularly for a non-boutique instrument using the AW16G's mic pres... and the balalaika is equally impressive." I know he's being generous and kind, overall, but then again, he feels free to nail me on a couple of other issues later in the review.
