I'm looking at the Apex SP2 mic package as a possible purchase so I'm asking for some input on these mics.. included as follows...the 460 tube mic/ the 415 large condenser mic/ and two 185 small condenser mics.
The whole package cost only $400. so basically $100. a mic. how good can these be? Has anyone used or heard of someone give an opinion ?
 
The Apex 460 is the largest selling tube microphone due to its low price. It features a K67-type capsule driving a flat response circuit and transformer-coupled output. The 415 is a K67-type capsule FET mic similar to any low end Chinese FET mic. The 185 is the same mic as the popular MXL 603 that features a KM 84 inspired capsule and transormerless circuit.

The mics are usable out of the box but are a favorite with DIYers and modifiers because then can be improved greatly.
 
So it seems that all four are Joly mod eligible. Could make for a powerful mic package post-mod.
