I LOVE my DPA 4061´s ...;)
of course there is NO perfect mic for all different kinds of concerts and venues, but the dpa 4061 comes very close to the perfect one IMHO ;) even at crowdy outdoor shows ;). and yes, I´m 100% stealthing only.....

Microtech Gefell M270.  The best microphones for concert recording I have ever heard.  Money does not become an object with these if you want to sell an organ or two to finance them.

How much are Gefell omni capsules?  Anyone?

Haven't checked lately, but they were around $750 per capsule when the dollar was a lot stronger.  I wouldn't be surprised if they are approaching $900 per capsule at this point with the state of the dollar against the Euro.

agree with jamie.  argument begins and ends with the MG Omnis...best omnis I have ever heard

i have the m27 caps - but sold my other mgs a few years ago.  i was keeping the caps in hopes of a JK labs setup - but that didn't work out so well.  i then kept them for a mg nbox setup, but i am not sure when or if that will come out.  so...i was thinking about selling the caps to JAson (he uses them a lot now anyway), then buying some other omnis (Geffel M296 or M960).  the thing is, i can't imagine liking anything more than the m270s; so i might just continue to borrow bodies when i need them (not much these days) and then continue to wait for the nbox to come out.  thanks everyone for responding.  cheers, ingsy

They may not be the "best", but Avensons are outstanding mics for the money.  I think they sound as good as Earthworks in many instances.

Ours really saved our butts on a carillon recording we made last Christmas.  The low bell mics were completely unusable due to mechanical noise - luckily the Avensons captured everything beautifully from the mid-bell position.  The recording will be released this holiday season, too!

These are highly recommended mics, and I would not hesitate to use them in just about any situation.

If money did not matter - what pair of omni mics would you buy for outdoor and on-stage recording?

The best omni mics I have ever used or heard are DPA 4007 end of story... Nothing is better IMO.

I'll most definitely agree with that statement. I find myself running mine more and more and loving the recordings. Excellent mics for the money.

Oh, I forgot.  I think the best sounding aud recording I've ever heard was a Healy patterned Nak 700 Omni.  Claypool show outdoors from 2000 or so.  I've heard multiple Nak 700 omni recordings and they're simply fantastic.

The Nak 300's are solid, too.

Hi Chris, have you tried the DPA 4003 ? I have both a pair of 4007 and a pair of 4003, and well, the 07-s hardly ever comes out. I tend to use them mostly as spot mics on timpani.

Hmm. Well. Not what I intended. Send me a PM whith an offer and I´ll scratch my head and see if it will work. Mind you this pair is from 1983, at time i was still the Bruel&Kjaer brand. Not quite sure how to do it, but I live in Sweden so there will probably be a bit of transport and duty or whatever.

IMO QTC-50's are some of the "purist" mic's made.

You better hope they got it dialed in as these mic's are not forgiving AT ALL. 
But what ya hear is what your gonna get on tape.

dpa4052/4053, or the 4006 TL like otherone recommended.      ;D





Yeh DPA4052s are great mics in a dull venue because they are bright sounding mics. In a large bright high ceiling venue (e.g. Church) Schoeps CCM2S/MK2S sounds better. I've got both and I use different omnis in different venue depending on the acoustics of the hall.

Anyone tried the DPA's large diaphragm 4041-SP?
