Hi guys I would love to hear opinions regarding these two mics on vox and acoustic guitar mixes. What would be your choice between the two and why? Thanks in advance for your help.
 
KSM32 if you want something mostly neutral and accurate.

KSM27 if you want something with a mildly flattering midrange scoop and high end boost.
 
i used a KSM 27 on banjo once. it belonged to the banjo player and he seemed to be wanting me to use it......but it was NOT the right mic for the job. it scooped the mids right out and thinned out the banjo.

while that might be good for some banjo tracks, on this one the banjo was one of the primary instruments and i could've used a bit more heft. thankfully it had the "high end sparkle" which helped salvage the track.

in all it was a decent enough sounding mic, but i've got nicer sounding ones (and for less money). oh, and i didn't like the shockmount at ALL.

no experience with the 32 or 44.

cheers,
wade
