So I have a case of the upgrade bug. I think I am selling my AKG391/93 setup and upgrading to new mics. I will have about 1k to spend after selling and wondering if anyone has any SD mic suggestions. I would like to go with akg480s, but everytime I have money, noone is selling them. I'm just wondering what everyone would think would sound good in front of the T+ mod UA-5. Thanks for suggestions in advance!
Might be time to start doing some listening to Archive recordings and see what you like.
For $1000, either new or used, you could get:
Neumann km184s
AKG 480s
Beyer MC930
MBHO's
Peluso's
ADK TL's
I'm sure there are more, but those are a few. I think used Gefell m300's (if you can ever find them) would be outside that range, as are schoeps and DPAs, but you'll have a lot of choices at $1k and under.
the Peluso's give ya a lot of bang for your buck!!! I love my TL's but they are LD and allow me to run all sorts of patterns.
peace
