Ok, Eeldip and anyone else thats interested...
I just sat and a/b'ed my original e609 and the new Musicians Friend e609. Someone just pointed out on the other thread that the old one was "evolution" and the new one is "emotion".
Tricky business there, anyone wanna shoot an email to Sennheiser?
They are EXACTLY the same size, weight, etc, with same casing except the MF one has the chrome grill.
SOUND:
I A/B'ed them, and found the following and confiremed it several times.
The new one was slightly hotter with a brighter more defined top. Not extremely so, but it was noticible each time.
The original MIGHT be a little smoother on top, maybe thats why it didnt sound quite as bright, but its really hard to make that call.
They both exhibited the same mid range thing that the mic is known for.
Aside from the new one being slightly hotter (maybe 3db) and slightly brighter, they are the same otherwise. I did notice that the newer one sounded more detailed, but that is always a result of the high end being a bit more crisp, it will give you that impression.
On my voice, I prefered the new one, actually. I'll try them on guitar cabs and see what I think in the next couple days.
Peace.
