Audio Technica Pro 37

Hey,

I was just wondering what you guys think about the Audio Technica Pro 37 SDC's. They got a pretty good review in Tape Op where (supposedly) Steve Albini said they were the best mics you could get under $200. I just thought I'd see what everybody thought and maybe suggest alternatives if these don't turn out as well as they seemed.

Thanks.

In case you hadn't read it already, here's something Steve has to say about them: "Bright, hard-edged sound. Good for bright acoustic instruments like mandolin, ukelele and banjo. Can take reasonably high levels (e.g. guitar amps) but may overload on snare drum. Fine on hi-hat, metallic percussion." (from EA's site)

Thanks for the reply. Just curious, what is "EA's site"? Is that a site for his studio or something?


Thanks.

P.S. If anyone else has an opinion it would be very much appreciated.

Lucky guess!

Do you (or anyone else, for that matter) know how these compare to the AKG C 430's? Those are some others I was considering as well, and was just curious.


Thanks.
