Topic: Large diaphragm condenser mics compared to small diaphragm condenser mics?

[slightlys]

I know the obvious difference of diaphragm size. but what are the other differences? does one sound better than the other?

[creekfreak]

not better, different. Small diaphram mics are usually brighter and more detailed while LD mics tend to be very natural, not quite as detailed and produce a much deeper and smoother bass IMO. After running schoeps for a long time, and now also running the ADK TL's they are both very different and will come in handy in different situations
