I ran two pairs of AKG CK1's last night and they sound very different. This is DJ Williams Shots Fired at Winston's. It's lacking vocals since it's a stage tape, but I was testing mics and didn't care about the vox. I'm buying James Bartoli's mics and wanted to test them first. I have 460's with black CK1's and 452's with silver CK1's. Both pair were on stage ORTF and sound great, but one pair is lacking on the low end. I'm hoping you that someone else can listen to them and see what they think.
They're poly wav files (4 channels 24/96). I switched the pre amps at set break for comparison.
Set 1:
inputs 1 + 2 = CK1 (silver) > actives > 744
inputs 3 + 4 = 460/CK1 (black) > V2 > 744
Set 2:
inputs 1 + 2 = 460/CK1 (black) > 744
inputs 3 + 4 = CK1 (silver) > actives > V2 > 744
I still need to test the silvers on the 460's. Will do that one next. My plan is to run the 460/CK8's at MSG with my MK4's, but want to make sure the 460 bodies are good. The last pair I tested was unable to keep a capsule powered for the complete show so I'm trying another pair he has.
Here is the link. thanks for taking the time to review
