Which the Amek / Neve system 9098 used in this example is.

Nope, not the V77... I think Harvey said something like the V69 being like a V67 on steroids.

Big difference! This is a perfect example of what’s so great about Neumanns – besides having a natural top-end (already mentioned as “less harsh”) the mids are big, lush and beautiful! That’s what a real “European” capsule will do for you. The C3 and B1 (and lots of other Chinese mics) have...

They are! Glad I didn't buy one when they were "on sale" for $199! ;)

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Of all the mics on your list, I've only used the SM57 for my dreadnought. IMHO, the MXL 603S beats the '57 for this application. But the main reason I'm posting here is to state that in my experience, placement is just as big a factor as which mic you use, so don't overlook that part of the...

I’ve got a PXR4 too... I have a small stereo condenser mic that looks to be a couple of the Panasonic elements in either side of a small tube approx 1” in length with an alligator clip attached and a stereo cable coming out of it. I forgot where I bought it, but I originally used it with a mini...

Then why not get a pair of C4s? I think they would be a better choice for this application, and they come in matched pairs.

I wouldn't recomend it... Dark mic + muddy pres + mushy baritone = more mush

Ahhhhhhhhh... the wonderful world of marketing! ;)

I thought I did, but could not find them. Just email the guy. He's still active here - he might post them again.

Here it is... All I did was search on "MXL 603" and "Flatpicker". There were only 10 threads with that combo. Anyway, the point is moot because the links are dead. However, you could email him and see if he still has the mp3s.

It's probably like Lowes and Home Depot - Maytag, Whirlpool, etc... makes similar models of washers and dryers for both outlets, but gives them different model #s so they don't have to compete with price matching. kidvybes, do you know how long the price is going to be $199 and what it's going...

Was either one his over-all favorite or did he like them both the same?

Thanks for the info - I always wondered about that mic. I just always assumed (that word get's me in trouble, too... :p ) it was transformer-less.

Well we are probably going for completely different sounds. Keep in mind that my stuff is mostly bluegrass style, so I want to hear a lot of depth (without the mud, of course) and absolutely no pick-clicking. Using a single mic, I seem to get my best tone with the mic 9" to 12" straight out from...

Nope. It was someone else and they just posted links to one mp3 of a stock 603S and one mp3 of a stock MC012. I remember that it was a good comparison.

Oh yeah, I forgot! :eek: "Similar". That's what that other thread you were referring to was about, wasn't it? :D BTW, I was only referring to the body and grille. Other than how it might look to the casual observer, that Shanghai capsule has no similarities at all whatsoever!

LOL! I know what you mean. I'm glad you found TLS (I keep taking it for granted that everyone knows about that place). But, I was referring to a thread here on the mic form. Someone posted links to 2 mp3s of acoustic guitar for comparison - one using the MC012 and one using the 603S. I have...

Yep. I tried to avoid that by using the term "similar". ;)
