Another Mic comparison

I have an 18.5 Meg zip file of 15 mics and a DI for you to compare.

All mics had the same placement on the amp with no eq or compression other than on the POD XT. I recorded the POD XT direct in then sent the recorded signal to my amp.

Condenser Mics (0db pad and no low cut on all mics)
Oktava MK-319
MXL 2003
AKG C3000 (not the B model)
CAD M179
Behringer EMC8000
Oktava MK-012
Groove Tubes GT-55
KEL HM-1
Superlux PRA-238b

Dynamic Mics
Superlux PRA-218a (kick mic)
Hohner Blues Blaster (harp mic)
Superlux PRA-228a
Sennheiser e609 silver
Shure SM57
Shure Beta 57a

Anyone take a listen to the different mics yet.

I think the Behringer EMC8000 sounds good.

Thanks for doing the mic comparison! I think the AKG sounds pretty good...and, as always, the SM57.

I liked the sm57 and the Groove Tubes.
