you are way too close if you are concerned about that then you are way too close for a good recording andor have the wrong location for your mike you should be off to the side near the middle, back at least a foot ( i would go 2-3 feet depending on the instrument). and that might still be...

the correct answer is none of teh above

that is why there are so many choices. this is all very subjective. the 990 is more than worth the money. i got two of them on sale for the cost of one 57 and i got a case and antivibration noise suspension cage too. our church uses 990s and they sound great. we have a pro singer that uses...
