     I demo-ed the KA-04/KR-2C combo back in 2003, and made about two dozen recordings at a festival paired with a pmod UA-5. I was mostly impressed with their sound, but I had promised the wife I would return them instead of buying. A pair runs about $1350, but if I could get a good deal on a used pair, I'd seriously consider picking them up. Although there's talk of goosenecks, actives, etc., I've yet to see any accessories materialize.  Still, there's a good variety of caps, including a diffuse field omni.  Not sure how well the 33mm diaphragm capsule would work for PA taping.

ive run both the cards and hypers.
first rate mic.  very bright and articulate.  like a brighter dpa sound, but juicey (as opposed to dpa dry)
