Topic: audix micros

HOw do these perform?  How do they stack up to at853
Do they really take a mbho cap?
How stealthy are they?

[Nick Graham]

Not sure how they compare with the ATs, but it's the Josephson micro line that will work with MBHO caps. The Audix are much, much smaller.

AT943s are pretty amazing as cardioids, I'll bet the omnis are good to.
Have never heard the Hypers.

The Audix get compared to the AKG480s quite a bit.

Don't know at all if they sound like the AT mics but I doubt they are comparable.

I've only used mine three times so far.  The first time with a DIY digimod UA-5 in din and they sound very nice. here's a sample.

The second time I used them, I used them with my new v3 and ran ortf and the bass is a bit lacking, here's a sample

The third time was again with my v3, this time in my friends basement and running xy.  it was just him with an acoustic guitar goofing around but the sound is awesome.  sorry, no sample.

I've heard they sound best in din which i plan on running next with the v3.

my only complaint so far is the lack of bass on the one recording, but i don't think i've used them enuf to give an accurate review.

Ed's recording of Explosions in the Sky is tite!

I think these mics are way stealthier than they look in pictures.

I ran the 1290 hypers.  I comparred them to a 483 sound.  my bitch w/them is that they only went down to 30hz.  Still, thats pretty low, but I need my mics to be full range, 20-20 at least. 
as a result, on my stereo....they sounded thin to me.
tight, refined, great high end responce, but not much for a big thump and sometimes I want to feel that, especialy if it was present in the recording.

I ran them XY, DIN and ORTF.  DIN sounded best to me.
