edit they are discontinued...BUT there is a massive amount of overstock here...I can get you one if you want one Jeff..

just PM me. I get german mics for folks all the time.

Teddy

I have an AKG 426b, and it is by far my favorite microphone.

So I finally decided this is the bestest upgrade for the LSD2.  But AKG US says it is discontinued. 

By the way, Cascade (of recent Fathead Ribbon mic fame) has a single point LD stereo mic listed as coming soon.

Jeff

Hey Teddy-

I didn't realize they discontinued the 426? Or are you confirming that the 422 is discontinued?  What kind of price do the overstock mics go for?

Matt

the 426 AND 422 are discontinued..with no plans to replace the stereo mics.. assholes. the one  modern mic that sounds good from that damn company, they go and kill

I asked about overstocked pricing, and told him to reserve me 3 just in case...he is going to email me tommorow(the austrian distro guy)

Having used both, no way does the AKG sound $2k better than the LSD2.
ymmv

[RebelRebel]

have you used the 426??

the stock 422 isnt what it could be(modded is different, like macdaddy has)..but the 426B is the absolute heat.

That is just RETARDED! Thanks AKG

[RebelRebel]

The more I run my LSD2 the more I like it. I have been looking for that low end and Ive found it. I p;ayed my wsp Macon on the PA at the club the other nite and the guy running sound couldnt believe that the recording came from that mic. It sounds real good. I cant wait to get that silver cable in my hands and broken in. I know its going to only enhance this mic.

[Nick's Picks]

who ever thought 30hz would be so fucking huge sounding...

granted, that is very low.  but w/most of the mics we use being full range and all...

I'm still torn between the LSD2 and Pelusos. Is there any sound issues with the LSD2 in tiny or small bars?

well, they are discontinued, but I just bought two of the last 3 for about 3,000 Euros per. there is one more left in AKG land...after that..bye bye AKG stereo mic legacy. 

if you want the last one, I can get it for you..2975 EUR. I bought MY personal 426b for 2500 , but that was a steal. They used to retail for 5500 USD..

I own both Peluso and LSD2 Just getting in the rounds with both mics here in charlotte. I love them both so far the Peluso w subs is the bomb so far. A few more shows with both and ill be able to judge more.
