These mics look interesting, and at $765 for a new set from BHphoto, if they can beat the km184, I'm intrigued. Not looking to spend any more money now, but just looking to learn more about these mics. Those that use them, what do you think? How do they compare to 481s?
PM Tapermark and see if his finally showed up from B&H. I know he had waited some time.
Mine came from FrontendAudio. They were a bit more but I recieved them 2 days later. Customer service is sometimes worth the additonal money.
Well this is my ears speaking, but, I like these alot more than 481's. I've not owned 480's but have borrewed and run them. The CKx series cap always have left me wanting more. They just seemed a bit thin to my ears. Of course this is MY ears, yours or someone else's may hear something else. The adantage with the 480's though is multiple caps, the mc930 is a fixed card. Of course this may be a non-issue with you.
Now, for what I hear on the mc930's. Fullness across the frequency range. Fantastic mid, great highs but not bright, and a full lowend but not bloated. Representative of it's flat freq response chart. Very smooth sound, detailed and transparent, but not overly so. Some ultra transparent mics sound a bit harsh, almost too transparent. These are defintiely not those. Just a pleasing playback experience. Of course these are my ears, yours may tell you something else.
