I've only heard of the Chinese controversy in relation to the MC-012's but who knows for sure?

As far as the MKL-2500 goes anyway, this ad specifically states "Hand built in Russia" http://www.guitarcenter.com/newsletter/getThis/products.cfm?sel=6&eid=14

This whole Oktava thing is unsettling. A pair of SP B1s would be a very healthy investment for little money.

Hi. I have one and I didn't think it was very difficult to get the basic recordings down. However there are alot of features that aren't quite intuitive. There is a great user board at http://forum.dijonstock.com/ that can get you through the rough spots. PS The pres aren't so great...

I use an AW16G too. Learn to use the paired tracks for sub-mixes. You can save the original tracks by switching to a different virtual track.

Could the problem be that you have the panning set all the way to one side?

So then the question I would be asking myself would be "are the SP C4s for $300 a 'matched' pair?"

I think they had the BX5s for $199 in the May mailout.

As already mentioned I think you'll get a lot of miles out of a couple of small condensers (overheads/acoustic guitars) and an SM7 or RE20 (vocals/kick).

You'll get a few different answers but I'm very happy with my Yamaha AW16G.

Good job Pete. I'd still be interested in knowing how different the 2 are.

Hold onto your money for the time being and spend the rest of the week reading threads here.

I've seen it around here more than once that the SP C1 is a nice alternative to an MK319.

I think the consensus around these parts is that the 603s are better on acoustic guitar than as drum overheads. I think the SP C4 package is a pretty attractive one.

As far as I know, the MC-012 & MK-012 are/were the same and are/were both made in Russia.

Jeez, what a snakebit company. If I was starting out fresh I'd probably be looking at SP C4's.

Includes a 10dB pad for high SPL recording yeah, they must be using 'stock' text too!

If you scroll down on this you'll see the pad is both pictured and mentioned http://www.guitarcenter.com/newsletter/getThis/products.cfm?sel=6&eid=16

I like the idea of 2 SDs for overheads/acoustic and 1 SD for vocals. The choices depends on your budget though.

Here's a couple of good articles on putting together a mic cabinet. http://www.mojopie.com/micproj.html http://www.mojopie.com/micproj2005.html
