Title: Neumann KM184
Post by: admkrk on October 31, 2004, 04:15:55 AM

not that i could afford them before i get my taxes back, but would this be a good deal?

KM 184's are cardoid only. And they rock.  ;)

Oh, and re: this particular auction, for a new set, it's in the ballpark, but I'm pretty sure you can find them cheaper (how's that for helping?  :P).....

No problemo...aside from the fact that you can't switch patterns, I really like my 184's. They've performed well in a number of different taping situations, and provide a really nice fat bottom end with the V2. I've seen em go for around 800 in the Yard Sale. Have fun spending your dough!

I'm gonna say that 1000 is a little much.  I picked mine up for around 800-900 I think

i have seen a bunch of pairs sell for 800 to 900 bucks, and I saw a pair sell for as low as 650, but that is out of the ordinary.  1000 is a good deal if you need mics now and nothing used is for sale.
