I own the SM81, and I record a lot of acoustic banjo in mono. I record into a Golden Age Project Jr preamp and into my UR44 Yamaha/Steinberg audio interface. The SM81has a pretty darn flat frequency response and that’s usually good but short of using a different banjo (mine is top of the line anyway) it just sounds not as clear or defined as I expect.
I’ve narrowed it down to two microphones and if I was to get one, I’d like advice on these or preferences on one over the other.
I did my homework for bluegrass banjo. Two popular microphones are:
AT4047
KM184
Any advice for getting one over the other?
