Don't thank me yet. Wait till I can compare it directly with the Audix TR-40 to make sure the noise level is reasonable. If you just need a pair for drum overheads right now, then you're welcome.

The 603 is a 1/2" condenser with a warm sound and pretty low noise, great for capturing the richness of a nice acoustic guitar.
The 1/4" Panasonic capsule is a different kind of beast, good for capturing the loud, but delicate stuff, like cymbals, tamborine, violin, mandolin, banjo, and flute. If it's quiet, it can also be used to capture the delicacy of a guitar as well.
Actually either would be good choices, with the 603 being the favorite for greater output and lower noise.
As far as the B2 is concerned, the quality control and consistancy from unit to unit would be my main worry.
PG13, do you have two of the B2s? Did you check out several to see if they all sounded the same? How close is your B2 to their published spec? Were some B2s that you listened to noisier than others?Originally posted by PG13 nahhh i dunno i haven't had that problem with the B2 so far everything is smooth
We use both cardioids and omnis here, depending on the material. Hypercardioids would be too directional for my tastes, although I will sometimes mic the high hat with a hypercardioid if the drummer is doing intricate high hat work.VirtualSamana said:Harvey,
Can you explain what the difference in sound would be using omnis as overheads as opposed to hypercardioids?
If the acoustics of the room aren't that great would hypercardioids be a better choice?
It's probably my fault. It's supposed to all appear in the document. Here are the straight links (that should be clickable):Herm said:Thanks for the reply Harvey But I cant get the links to work Am I doing something wrong?
