I'm thinking about buying a pair of SP C4s additionally to my DPA4061s for open taping purposes since months. Now I just wanted to place an order but noticed that they come with microphone clips - I always thought they come with shock mounts and all pictures I've ever seen of the set show shock mounts, not even the SP website tells anything.
What I would like to know is - should I try to get a pair of the old ones with shock mounts or should I take the new ones with mic clips?
I'll probably never use roll-off so for me it doesn't matter if it's the old version with the combined rolloff/pad switch. Nearly all of my recordings are metal bands where rumbling is not unusual, so I, without having any experience with such mics, tend to shock mounts. What do you think?
