Never used countryman, but some guys did, maybe u should start a thread wtih the question, more chances for an answer.
What Im searching for is a omni pair that would go for stereo on less important orchestra recordings from close range where I dont have my whole gear with me. Just to plug into the minir82 and go.
They have the Sankens wired for the minir, so thats really easy. The Nevatons are XLR, that goes with a cable.
The only question would be, wich have a smoother sound, cause I cant try them before buying where I am.
I know it is stupid to talk about sound with such explanations but what I meant is not just dry and flat, but something that sounds good with an orchestra from close range.
