Don't know why but Marshalls are not shipped outside the U.S. Haven't tried SPs though.
Can you eloborate more on why Behringers are not suitable. Is it because they are large diaphram?
Strave said:the behringer B1 will sound as good on your piano as any sub $200 MXL or studio projects large diaphragm mic. It may break after a year if you don't take care of it... so take care of it but I don't think these people have even used it. If you have more money then there are other options... but the behringer B1s are made in the same factory as the studio projects line and I believe mxl products were made by 797 at one point as well.
scrubs said:And, yes, large diaphragm mics are typically not accurate enough for classical music.
Right. I did suggest AKG C414's for this purpose above, as those would be a good choice. I just think small diaphragm pairs would give a more accurate picture, based on my very limited knowledge of microphone design.CCS said:Actually, LDCs are frequently used in classical recording and very accurate, insofar, as not coloring the source. Not Behringer's, of course
scrubs said:It's because they are about the crappiest mics out there. Whatever crap some guy at the music store tried to feed you, just about everything made by behringer is cheap garbage that sounds bad and will break at some point in the very near future. And, yes, large diaphragm mics are typically not accurate enough for classical music. For just some hobby recording, the behri's might work just fine, I just wouldn't use them to record a classical concert pianist, or something. How about Rode? The NT-5 might do what you need, as well.

I know, you are just some person on a message board and you know more then them, but for others out here with an open mind if you want some great tips on recording and cheaper products from the pros, pick up the book, it's GREAT. The TC finalizer was also highly recommended. I have a Behringer compressor that I often prefer over my RNC and Fatman.
