Hey guys!
Long time since I bought some new mics. Need some soild omnis I can use for stack taping loud rock stuff with.
Small and portable. Budget up to $1500.
Had these in the past but need something ideally better.
*Sennheiser MKE2 - OK but overloaded easily
*Countryman b3s - Nice but had issues with overloading despite mod.
*Nevaton MCE400s - Great sounding but matching was an issue and also build quality not great but of the 3 I liked these the most sonically. Very "round" sound and not as harsh as DPA 4061s, so something sonically similar to these would be great.
What are the best options these days? And also what powering options to consider?
Thanks!
