Bean, to answer your question. I have found that the microphones are very natural sounding. The mid ranges are smooth and not as prominent as with my 460's. Low end pickup is rediculous. I think I am going to run roll off on my V3 when I tape in venues with bigger pa stacks. You can really hear the bass line clearly and the kick drum is smooth and not muddy. The highs are extremely acurate without being brittle. Vocals are natural/warm and do not stand out in the mix. All in all I have been happy with them. If I had to give them a description I would say that they are warm/natural sounding with excellent high end sizzle.
The size is another selling point for me as they are tiny. You really don't need remote cable. For the money you could have GreatGumbino make you a set of high quality silver RA stubbys.
However, once the remote cables start shipping, I bet people will find that they will probably work with the schoeps mounting setups.
