i think i like the figure 8 pattern mics alot lately picked up a cad trion 7000 today ill post some recordings soon
yeah the link was totally helpful. thanks. the trion 7000 is looking like a potential future buy.the Trion 7000 and 57 are very complimentary. IMO you won't be dissapointed with the Trion 7000. I have had a pair for some time and they get used regularly even over more expensive ribbons.
A ribbon / 57 comparison may be a bit difficult to compare with the same positioning because the ribbon can be pointed right at the center of the speaker and will capture a nice tone, whereas the 57 will sound much brighter at the same position.
In case you missed it, this may help
