Topic: Neumann 140 vs Neumann 84i

[BWolf]

anyone have pics of a low-pro km84i setup? i searched and came up fairly dry.

What do you want for low-pro?

Best you can do is a KM184-like setup - two clips and the bodies in a Joe Meek/A20 style mount, I would think.

Can't remember whose post that was, but it's probably the most low-profile setup you'll achieve with the 84's.


EDIT:  Found it.      http://taperssection.com/index.php/topic,85879.msg1140547.html#msg1140547

yeah, there are no actives for the km84i.  the full bodies would have to be up there, not just the caps.  nothing really low pro about it...

Ovu, that is quite and Neumann arsenal, if you don't mind one saying so out loud.

0VU has so much gear that I would be ecstatic just to have 10% of that amount - and it's all good stuff too

I have KM83, 84, 85, 88, and KM100/AK20, 30, 31, 40, and 43 mics/capsules and I'm pretty used to the sonic differences.

Don't mind me.  I am just quoting this so that I can put it at the top of my "aspire to be" list of things to do in life.

  Thanks.

I guess it is - and that's just the small diaphragm Neumanns 

know where I can find a set of 84s?

so lets hear the whole mic list.... neumanns and everything else...

0vu probably has more mics than the whole of the Taperssection Forum put together
