Hello to averyone,
I would want to acquire two KM143 (wide card) and more KM140. I have found many KM140 for sale, bought in 1991. This mics have the same electronics of KM100 sold today in 2011 ? (2012)
I want buy KM143 new (KM100 + AK43) and thik to purchase some KM141 used. A mic of 1991 is a risk ? It must be checked in a Neumann laboratory ? Capsules are not matched, some body (KM100) has consequentials numbers. I can use new KM143 near an 1991's KM143 or this mic have different electronic ? For a matching pair body is important or I can checked only the capsules ?
This important for me, this mic are my first important Neumann purchase, for my professional activity. I love 143 but the idea of buy some KM141 at half price is very intersting for me, for extendend my microphones collections.
Happy new year !
