Title: AKG> P-mod UA-5
Post by: bush on March 08, 2004, 09:14:28 PM
I've been looking around a little for some akg>p-mod tapes and havent really turned any up. 480's or 460's I'd like to know what each sounds like with the p-mod.

Has anybody run this? Thoughts...

I'd love to b&p some samples, I'm stuck in the stone age, no d/l possible.

FWIW bush, i really like the 390>pmod tapes from rhys on this board

so i bet the 480's would SMOKE

I'm wondering what it would sound like with the 460's in front.

I've heard lots of tapes with the w-mod in front, but I havent seen very many of any p-mod sources with he 480's or the 460's.

I have both akgs at my disposal and was looking for something to do a little playing with, maybe even downgrade from the v3 for a while :o
if it sounds good.

would a p-mod be too bright for the akg's?

Dunno, Havent heard any tapes???

The d-mic20 isnt too bright for the akg's, it actually sounds really nice with them. I was thinking the p-mod might be in the same ballpark...sound wise and matchup wise.

I hope to find some samples, otherwise I'll be the guy testing the combo out.

I'm tossing the idea around of trading UA-5's with JDS in vegas for a set or maybe a show with AKG 393's.  He has a P-mod, I have a W-mod.  Would be interesting to see what the diff is.

Did a little searching on the archive.  Great place to check out different setups.

Here are a few that specifically say pmod...there are others that just say mod UA-5.

I actually run the AKG 393s and will buy the p-mod later this week.  I'll be using it over the weekend so I'll try to get some clips up to show what you'll get with the combo.

I dunno, riding the fence on keeping it :hmmm:

I'd like to find something else I really like first. I haven't even rolled the 460's but twice, both with not so great results.

Its HARD to beat that c422> v3 I ran this fall...tooo damn bad that thing was only a loaner.

I run 460's in front of the Digi-MOD. I personally like the 460 -> V3 combo but don't have the $$$ for the V3

I would be interested in hearing the P-Mod difference as well. I was going to make a decision on which MOD to get (OADE did the digi-MOD) after running the stock pre-amp.
