I'm currently recording acoustic guitar with a stereo pair of Audio Technica AT 4041s. I think I'm getting great results. Very transparent, neutral, and open sounding mic. However, I'm always looking for something better for this application. Maybe there is nothing truly better, just different? I already have some superb vocal mics. Don't need any more of those. Are there any SDC mics that are genuinely better for acoustic guitar and mandolin? I think they would be tough to find, based on my results so far. However, there are people here far more experienced at recording than me. I'd be interested in hearing comments from some experienced recordists. It's not absolutely necessary, but it would be nice to hear from those experienced with the AT 4041 along with other high high quality SDC mics that are perhaps at the Neumann, Earthworks, Schoeps, level of mics. Thank you.
