I was in the local music shop the other day and they have on special 2 mics in a hard case. AKG C2000B and C1000s. He said they were usually $1140.00 but would sell them to me for $649.00 (Aus Dollars). Is this a good buy ??
Any comments appreciated.
Vaquero............. how did you come across that link?
upeBay:
Audio Trechnica AT4040: $239 (US)
Shure SM81: $348 (US)
Total: $588 before tax and shipping
Sound?: Waaaaaaaaaayyyy better
Knowing you bought much better mics for the about the same?: Priceless
Thanks Ausrock.... I just had the AKG's offered to me and thought it might be a bargain, but as it turns out they're probably not. I'll work out what I'm doing with the recording side of things first and maybe PM you for advice when I'm up to the stage of upgrading the mic side of things.
Thanks heaps
No Scoot, you're better off leaving the AKGs alone, there's plenty of better mics out there that would suit your setup and they won't cost an arm and a leg so feel free to PM me if necessary. BTW, out of curiousity, whereabouts are you?
