Topic: Low profile non-AT, non-omni mic suggestions for < $550 (used)

+t for the local knowledge!

1) I never realised Rode were aussie!
2) I'd never heard of the nt6, though I of course know the nt5

Unfortunately they're a bit out of my price range new, and it appears there's not much of a used market cos they were only released 6 months ago.

Thanks a lot for all your suggestions folks.  I've been doing a lot of listening and have decided to go for the m1290's.

I'm a little wary of the age of the naks, the customer service of mic madness, and the price of the akgs.

The m1290's are available (I'm impatient and I can pick up a pair from a TS member now for $375 shipped) and I like how they sound.

ive heard the Sennheiser me-104, and was quite impressed. an engineer friend of mine used them as a pickup pair for a string quartet. Sounded very nice. I think the moderate HF rise would help combat all that sonic PA mud and grime..
