Hi all, after doing a little preliminary recording of acoustic guitar I decided I should probably have at least one SD condenser mic in my locker. I have so far: rode ntk and EV re320 (and of course an sm57). My Pre is a Great River. Since these are cardioid mics I should probably include an omni or multi-pattern as well. I'm trying to open up and enlarge or 'air out' the sound more from my results thus far, hence my wanting to include an omni. Granted I haven't done enough experimenting with mic placement yet (i.e. moving mic further away from guitar), still, my intuition tells me I should have at least one SDC and maybe an omni option. Keeping under $600 (preferably $400) I've narrowed it down to Beyerdynamic MC930 ( because of it's being likened to an affordable Neumann KM 84 industry standard) and the Mojave MA101 with multi pattern feature which would seem to offer more versatility to experiment with.
The MC930 is cardioid but seems to be a real top choice for acoustics ( as a cheap KM84 alternative).
Any thoughts on these ?
thanks
