Any opinions out there of the Sennheiser electret (MKE2/4) 'sound', if I can put it like that, and possibly whether you've heard or used the Sennheiser-cap offerings from Mic Madness?
Thanks
The "best" under-$1000 pair of miniatures is really a "personal preference" scenario. I liken mics to underwear; some prefer boxers and other briefs and only you can decide what "fits" you best.
I was, at one point, thinking of DPA-4061s/CS HEBs. Then I got to thinking... is spending 7-to-ten-times the money on a set of mics going to improve my recordings by 7-to-ten-times the quality? The answer here is "highly unlikely."
I ended up selling my Sound Professionals CMC-8's (AT-933 cards) with battery box.... and replaced it with the following gear: CAFS-OMNI, CA-UBB, CA-14/o, CA-14/c, CA-14 DEAD RATS (for windy days) and a CA-9100 Preamp. I like what I've heard with the CA-14/o and /c (from DIME and a few other sources). I was considering the B3's and the Audix Cards but when I started getting into the amount of $$ that I was going to drop, I figured it was better to have some choices to pull from. At least now, I can pick what I need to run depending on the show I'm at and even the CAFS-OMNI mics, as small as they are, have pulled some decent results with minmal EQing.
