Well, it looks like I'm buying some Omni's for my 603a's. I was wondering what you guys recommend. There are 2 different kinds. The tape that made me want to get the Omni's used the LK linear omni's. Id be using them outdoor and indoor. Any help would be much appreciated! I have checked out some recordings on the Archive and have been impressed with both. What do you guys think?
KA 100 DK - omni
omni pattern
features 6 dB peak at 8 - 9 kHz for more distant pickup
recommended for outdoor recordings if less directivity is desired
KA 100 LK - linear omni
A constant frequency response if the sound impinges frontally upon the capsule. This leads to a natural tonal response. With a non-axis impingement of sound upon the microphone, a decay of treble results. This effect is relevant when sound quotas come from other angles than 0°, for instance by reflections

If your doing stage taping I would go with the Lk's, if your taping from a distance go with the DK's. Remember though MBHO's are inherently bright to begin with, so a 6db peak around 8-9 k is going to be real bright. just food for thought...
