Hey now.
I know, i've only used these audix micros 2 times. I'll use them at least 10 times before I sell them, I promise.
I really like them a lot, but I'm finding that my stereo is showing me the 40-20khz frequency responce of these mics....emphasis on the 40hz end.
The last time I used them, it sounds sort of "eh", and a little shy on the bottom end.
The first time I used them, they had very nice bass responce. So, the jury is still out.
That said, I feel like I need the versatility of multiple polar patterns. I could just pick up some card caps for these I suppose.
Carl and I were listening to a bunch of my older c422 recordings the other day, and man, that mic really cooked! I can't wait to get at all teh 24/96 stuff I have mastered with it that now sit in my closet unheard.
With this in mind, i was thinking about looking into a pair of AKG c414 B-ULS. I see stereo pairs w/windscreens, shockmounts, stereo bar, big ass stands (two), 20' cables and flight case going for $1598 on eBay with a "buy it now" option. I bet I could contact the seller and get them to keep the stands and the cables and likely pick up a pair of these in the $1300-1400 range.
I'd rather have a c422, but a pair of these would be nice. Same capsules and all.
I thought I would run my "thinking aloud" thoughts through the group here and see if any wisdom gets caught on the bumper on my way though...
