Is anyone out there using the akg ck31 capsule with the lm3 cable? Or just the ck31 cap? I can't seem to find any recordings on archive.org or any info here at TS. I already have the sp cmc-08 omni mikes from Chris at SoundProfessionals, and am wondering if the akg's would offer an increase in performance.
I have not tried, but there is at least one person here who has (forget the name though).
As far as I can tell, the CK31 capsule is *just the electret*. Like the AT853, you need a body with a FET in it to make this work. I have been tempted to try these because I can find them cheap locally. Just the caps, though. The LM3 or GNxxx cables are expensive.
