Hi there ppl.
Just wondering if anyone can offer some comments on these mics. Am looking at them, as they both have good reputations and come at the right price for me.
I will be using them as drum overheads with a shure PG52 for the kik and SM57 for the snare, and may use trigger mics on the toms to position samples if needed.
As a guide, though, Im looking for a nice balance of the kit. Hoping to get a mic that will be versatile enough to perform for light rock and easy listening, to heavy metal.
I have tried a pair of MXL603s, found they give a remarkable acoustic guitar sound, but I found them to have a 'distanced' character. I couldnt get them up front in the mix. Should have analysed it more, but I just didnt like them for the drums, thats that.
Thanks for your comments.
Price range: $250-$400 absolutely firm.
