They look pretty cool, but I've never heard of them (Sterling Audio), or seen/heard them in the flesh. They list a 3/4" diaphragm (around 19mm), so I wouldn't call it a standard SDC... maybe a MDC. :)

I heard good things about the AT-2020, which has a diaphragm about the same size (16mm). They go for around the same price too, $99 each, which might be worth checking into.

The MXL SDC's also have their supporters.

Well, actually, the Sterling mic you have linked to your inquirey is closer to a LDC than the AT-2020... Most LDC have 25mm diaphragms, most true SDC have 12mm diaphragms; the Sterling spec shows a 19mm diaphragm, the AT spec shows a 16mm diaphragm. I believe the MXL you're looking at has a 1/2" (12-13mm) diaphragm.

Actually the AT 2020 would not be considered a LDC. I have a pair of them and it would a Medium Diaphragm Condensor mic at best. They'd work great as overheads. IMO
 
$ .02

an often overlooked model that would be worth considering is audio technica atm 37 (or is it 35? one's a clip on.you want the non clip) i picked up a pair real cheap have used them for all kinds of stuff works real well in x-y ... and a-t's quality controll is good so even if you don t buy them "matched" they'll be pretty close...
 
I second the MSH-1A, especially if you are on a budget and need them Mainly for overheads, and for about $20 each you can"t beat them....

:)
 
well as i said, i dont mind spending between 200-250 for them...

for 20 dollars they can't be beat...but for 250 can they??
if so...let me beat them
