Anyone have a suggestion for a decent condensor (LD) mic in the $300 range that either is omni pattern or can be switched from cardioid to omni?
I want to experiment with recording both acoustic guitars and speaker cabs with the ability to capture some room sound (vs. strickly cardioid). I've used two mics (close mic and room mic) - but I thought a single omni pattern may be a good option.
A guy at Guitar Center claims the Shure KSM27 is omni (I don't believe it - I don't believe much of what people at GC say).
Also has anyone used the Octava MK-012 with an omni module? If so, how well does it work (yeah I konw it depends on the room). I have a couple of MC-012 - but they only came with a cardioid module. In fact I recently read that the MC-012 are actually Chinese clones (that were sold by Guitar Center) and only the MK-012 are legit. My MC-012 has what appears to be Russian printing (it sure ain't Chinese printing).
