I'm just about to kill the people at MM, for a faulty left capsule....

QFT.


you and me both, buddy. MM is close to losing a potential $235 purchase if they don't do the right thing and repair the mics pronto and refund that bogus shipping charge...

I used the MM mke2's this weekend.  WOW, what a great pair of mics.  I recorded an acoustic duo (Herb & Hanson) outside of a coffee house and a rock/jam/techno band (the borderless puzzle).  Both of the recordings smoke.  8) :headphones:

I'm thinking about the MM-MKE2 mics and would love to hear samples as well if possible.  How did you power them?  I'm especially interested in how well these would work run on the 2.5V Plug in Power of an iRiver in extreme stealth situations.

I power the mke2's with Church Audio's stc9000 preamp.  I have used the mke40's with the plug in power on my Hi-MD with no problems.  The mke40's are rated to handle 8dB more of SPL though.  I will have audio samples in a week or so.
