The C1 has quite a hyped upper mid-range presence. It appears from the description of your voice it would definately accentuate the frequency range that you DON'T want accentuated. The C1 has a high pass filter (6db/Octave @ 150hz) or a -10db pad. You can select one, or the other, but not both...

"This is the United States Postal Service calling".... "Where's our Goddamn CRATE?!!" ;)

Hmmm... If you're not careful you could turn from UNIdirectional into OMNIdirectional! ;)

Q. What does a sound guy say while performing oral sex on his girlfriend? A. "Check... check... One... two... three... testing!" ;)

Hmmm... well at the expense of having a few people throw up, I purchased a Neumann U77 twelve years ago. It is a multi-pattern 'T'-powered FET version made in 1967. It uses the same capsule as a U67. It was just about the time 'T' powering was on the way out with 48v phantom power coming into...

So let us know if the C1 sounds EXACTLY like a U87! ;) How about posting a review comparing them both?

Comparisons are nearly always inevitable. If one had to choose a 'reference' mic to make a comparison with then, like 'em or not, the U87 has been an industry stalwart for the last thirty years, so then it is not unreasonable to use that as a reference. I have no problem with someone saying...

Pretty much a summary of everything mentioned... The older AGK D12 for a more rounded sound The newer D112 for more click Audio Technica ATM25 Shure beta 52 Sennhesier 421 Beyer M88 Electrovoice RE20 Neumann U47 Fet (if you got money to burn ;)) Overall the ATM 25 probably represents the best...

Where's the cheese?! ;)

I recently compared my KM84 with a friends KM184. The 184 was quite a bit brighter than the KM84... if anything the 184 sounded closer to my AKG451EB than it did to the 84! I don't mean the same... just closer. The KM84 has a nice kind of 'woody' tone on acoustic guitar and while sounding less...

Re: Re: Re: Studio Projects B3 vs. C1 The T3 has less upper-mid boost than the C1 and is, to repeat some overused adjective re. tube mics, smoother and warmer sounding. Some may say it is a darker sound... which when comparing it directly with a C1 is probably a fair description. However don't...

From the FMR website... "... The preamp itself is a unique, full Class A self-biasing-fully differential-DC servoed-transimpedance-100MHz GBP-instrumentation amp with an input impedance of 5k... " The full page is here... http://www.fmraudio.com/rnp/index.html

I've compared the C1 with a ten year old U87 and 1967 Neumann U77 (early FET T powered version) which uses the same capsule as a U67. A C1 sounding like a U87?!! = TOTAL BUNKUM!! I posted the following on another thread... I recently compared the C1 and C3... the C3 being the multi-pattern...

Hmmm... I thought the definition of a shock mount was two guys on their way to a fancy dress ball, dressed in mare's suit, that inadvertantly wandered into an equine stud farm during mating season! ;)

Just be aware of potential phase problems with the above technique! ;)

Ditto what the others have said. It depends on what type of stereo recording you intend doing. For instance a solo guitar may require relatively close micing. On the other hand, a live recording of a small ensemble with a stereo pair would require the mic placement to be further from the source...

Cranking up the highs on a C1 thru a Mackie!!!! Yeesh!! I don't wish to be rude, but I the one thing a C1 doesn't need is more highs.... especially through a Mackie! I've used a C1 through a Mackie and even with the EQ set flat it was the most 'edgy' out of several pres I ran it through...

Well I kind of figured that but I was just waiting until Alan responds... which I have no doubt he will! ;)

My understanding is that all the 'B' series Studio Projects mics use 3 micron diaphragms and the T3, along with the 'C' series, use 6 micron diaphragms. I'm sure Alan Hyatt can elaborate on this. Incidently Alan, without given away any trade secrets, if you take say a B1, apart from the...

Just tell them that popping, crackly sounding tracks are IN! ;) Remember Teardrop by Massive Attack?... Lotsa crackles... Great track! On a more serious note... good luck with your problem!
