How does the MXL 603's compare to the Rode NT5's?

is it a good idea to buy a (matched) pair of 603's when miking an acoustig guitar? or will a single one do the same?

hmm...cool.So how did you have the NT5's placed.I'm using a Carvin MTS 3200 head turned up halfway,EQ & sonic maximizer(BBE 482i) set to taste, with two SM57's pointed at the cones of the two bottom speakers of a 4X12 cabinet about 11 inches out panned hard left-right...a decent heavy tone ,but I'm always looking for better and I think I'm about to pick up a pair of NT5's mostly for drum OH's,but hey...if they sound good on the cab. too...then that's just a + :cool:

We had one pretty much on the edge of the dust cover and the other about midway between the edge of the speaker cone and the dust cover. Both were on-axis.

I was pleasantly surprised with the results on the Mesa. I have tried the 603s on my guitar amp many times and never liked the results. But the NT5s on the Mesa sounded pretty damn good.
 
Alright...I'll have to try it out when I get mine.Thanx for the reply.
