if anyone has ever wondered about the differences between a shure sm81 and an audio technica 4047, check out these links below. i'm always looking for online audio tests of mics and pres and what-not, and i performed this little test the other day when i got my first sm81...so i decided to post the results.

(both mics through a peavey vmp2 -> lightly compressed with an RNC, into digital performer with a motu 828mkII. guitar was a nice washburn acoustic, with the mics pointed where the neck meets the body):




hope someone else finds this interesting. as expected i found the sm81 to be very clean and transparent, and the 4047 to be very vintage and warm.
