Thanks Moke,
So without trying it out, I guess there's no way of knowing really how well it will sound at higher levels (rock concert). And without nice clean gain, recordgings will suck at low dB acoustic settings if the mics are far from the source? I'm asking all this because there is a pair of 224s up on ebay for pretty cheap. I haven't seen them before, but the curve looks interesting. Probably too much money for something I would rarely be able to use. Thanks
