Most large diaphragm condenser vocal mics are pretty much one trick ponies; how well they do that one trick is what makes them valuable. By varying the angle and the distance from the vocal mic (any vocal mic), you can make pretty radical adjustments to the final sound. Since I wrote that Oktava/LOMO review, there have been some new products on the market that also have that flavor, IMO. Give a listen to the MXL V67G and some of the Studio Projects mics, like the C1.Beezoboy said:Harvey,
As far as the LOMO head on the mc012, do you think that configuration could be as versatile as a TLM103? I mean I have heard very good results with the TLM103 on everything like acoustic guitar, vocals, and very nice results from Michael Jones on the piano.
Hard call to make. The MC012 package with the 3 capsules AND a LOMO head would give you the most versatility, but may not work as well as the TLM103 in some circumstances, which is true of any mic recommendations. Kinda like having a box of crayons; when you want a red crayon, pink ain't gonna cut it.
guess I would be afraid to pay so much for a mic that would be a one use mic or limited use mic. I mean a C12 will cost you, but it seems like I have heard of it being used to mic everything.
Just wondering
