SDC.. Ok, so I think I've got it narrowed down...
And the Contenders are (for a pair).
Josephson C42 -- $900
Peluso CEMC6 -- $600 or so (can purchase other capsules/paterns)
The main use I will be putting these to is drum overheads and as instrument mics (mostly acoustic guitar).
C42-
Pros: Reputation. Rave reviews from most everybody
Cons: Costs more. Also, read one reveiw that said it's a little harsh on acoustic guitar
Peluso.
Pros: Costs less, can get multiple patterns, Bass rolloff and pad switches. Great (but Limited) reviews.
Cons: Kind of unknown. The best (and rave) review I've gotten was unfortunately from someone who sells them, so I have to take that with a grain of salt. They havent been reviewed much by others, though those that have seem to love them.
Sooo... Any input would be helpful. Anybody tired/have either of these mics? Raves? Concerns? Cautions? anything else at this quality level I should consider?
thanks
