Better than their CMC-25's but got torched by a moderately loud indoor show. Missing Persons, if one can consider that loud. Four bands in total, all moderately loud, and result is unlistenable. I'm just gonna stick with my 3-wire AT853's and 943's and stop being a gear slut.

This was running into the CA-9200? That indeed sounds like bad news.


I was running them into my 3-wire 9200(via 5-pin minixlr>miniplug adapter) with the 4.7k mod switched on. I didn't realize until later that using that adapter essentially bypasses the 4.7k mod switch. Which is why the CA-9200 with 1/8" miniplug input isn't available with the switchable mod. So, they were running un-modded. That being said, the distortion was like nothing I've ever heard from other un-modded mics. They got hammered.

Great updates from Falconidave.  As much as I was excited to have a set of these -  I think I will pass.  I'm going to go the AT853 route (same as Falconidave).
Thanks to all for the input and advice.

There's a couple of links in this thread to recordings done with the low-sens mod. Venom would be pretty loud I think  ;)

Yeah, those are nice and clean. Not especially hearing more low end than with any other moderately priced cardioids, though.
