Well what I am thinking is that since sd's are more "directional" you lose alittle bit of the natural ambience a ld can pick up. Why would this happen?

What would explain the added depth in a U87 compared to a km184

Sorry about referencing lower line AKG mics I forgot I am dealing with gear snobs. How about this test using a matched pair of km184 Neumann's and a pair of U87's to record an acoustic guitar. I heard both and a/b'ed the tracks over and over at my cousin's studios and the U87 recordings were far...

I wanted to fix my last statement: Maybe it all depends on the design of the sdc, but I have not yet heard a sdc that is better than any decent ldc IN sonic representation.

I have been reading the posts and all seem to have good points but I still am wondering what kind of testing you guys have done to back up your points. I have done lots of testing using the e609 and sm57 and I have found that even though the diaphragm in the e609 is just a little bit bigger that...

darnold_ 1st the capsule and diaphragm are the same thing. 2nd the sm57 has a smaller DIAPHRAGM which means dynamically speaking it wont sound the same as a e609 in that more sound space is picked up by the e609. If you know anything about how a diaphragm works you would know that larger area =...

Do you not agree with my logic Chessrock? What does evrybody else have to say about my statement: "The sm57 has a very small capsule while the E609 is your standard 1" capsule. This extra size makes for more dynamics included in the recording."

I use the E609's alot on big stacks and I think it is alot better than a sm57, the reason is in the capsule size. The sm57 has a very small capsule while the E609 is your standard 1" capsule. This extra size makes for more dynamics included in the recording. Since you have more than 2 speakers...

I would get a very nice stereo microphone. They seem to work best for this type of recording. While using stereo mics you can hear depth in your reecording like a distant bird to the left, a cricket to the near right and a breeze blowing direct. Most of the mics mentioned won't give you that...

If you are looking to liven up one of your vacuum tube pre-amps try out this place here in Tempe Arizona called Antique Electronic Supply. They have great New-Old-Stock tubes like RCA, Telefunken, and Amperex. A new high-end valve can really bring life back into a unit. I put a Telefunken 12AX7...
