hey
all you Beyerdynamic team advocates....
I am just wondering how these 2 mics compare
I know there are a ton of folks who really dig the MC930's
but the MCE530 are smaller w/o a 15db pad or the lowcut switch
while they tout a slightly lower bottom specs
okay here's the paper specs:

does any one use the MCE 530's?
again
just wondering
thanx
