So I need to buy some cardioid caps for my 943 bodies. Would you guys recommend going with the 943 caps, or using the 853's with an adapter? I've read a few posts saying that the 943's are inferior to the 843's.
Also...how are the 843 sub-cardioid caps?
Thanks

853 Only because them seem to handle more SPL then the 943 for some reason the 943 Seems to bottom out with low frequency much easier then the 853 I suspect the diaphragm to back plate distance on the 943 Is the issue. So that's my two cents.
-
853 without question.
-
853 is is then!
Now what about the sub-cards. Anyone have experience with those?

SC are only available for the 853s i'm pretty sure, but no longer made.
-
Yeahhh I knew they were no longer made...but I'm sure there's someone out there willing to part with a pair. I'd just like to know what people who have them, think of them?
-
i like my subcards when stealthing up close in a non-chatty environment.
-
The sub-cards are really nice on-axis, but make sure there isn't anything behind you that should sound natural, as it won't..... The off-axis responce on the sub-card is strange to say the least. Fortunatly AT improved the off-axis responce on the Uni-Line upgade, but unfortunatly discontinued the sub-card....
-
Another question...
Is there much of a sound difference when using the 853 caps on a 943 body, vs an 843 body?
-
no

Soundpros does give us a 10% discount though being members of TS. Better than nothing.

Chris Carfagno is a class act, he will probably retroactively give it to you if it hasn't shipped yet.

Yeah, he probably would but I'd feel like a real dousche calling back about that after the order has been processed. Next time.

I'd ask for it. What have you got to lose? Worst he could do is say no and I doubt he would.
