Topic: mic 'sound' chart

[Evil Taper]

Yeah the 4061s don't run hot enough without some help.  Even a SP batt box results in low levels, like -15db or more depending how loud the source is, when plugged into a JB3.  I've clipped the 4061s with the R1, so an external pre is not necessary, but folks have said the mma6000 by DPA has an impact greater than volume alone.

As for the mics being warm?  No way.  Every time I've used them they've been true and accurate to the sound source.  They're just...natural.  Sometimes this has not been a positive characteristic!

I think it would be cool to continue on the same track that the thread was on, personally. 

Especially with my new gear, I'm finding that I want to know as much as possible about it.  I know there's tons of info on this board, but you have to do a lot of searching for it (nothing wrong with that).  IMO, I think it would be sweet to start a thread for each different kind of gear and compile all the info in one spot.  Then people can add things as they are discovered.  Just a thought.

Interesting chart. I too would like to know from where it came and who participated in this sampling and how they defined transparency.

[Evil Taper]

well according to the graph transparency is the opposite of colored mics.

Answers all your questions (well except transparency, but I'm going to assume they use it like most other people when they use it to equal what you hear is what you get).
