While i'm asking.....i know some of you run mk4v's stealth instead of 4's
What's the difference in the sound?
mk4v cap (vertical) orientation makes it easier to conceal in a brim of a kangol while running near ORTF. the mk4v has a rise in the 8-15khz which apparently helps to make speech more intellegible and has more even off axis response.
to be honest, if you think that the Schoeps sound is a bit dark, this cap overcomes the darkness with the rise in the higher frequencies. if you tape a bit further back, this will be a benefit.
major drawback: the cap is almost 1000 a piece new. used: seen them as low as a 1000 a pair, but only once in the past two years; I'd say you should expect to pay at least 1200 used for them now due the the price increase, if they ever show up.
email me if you interested in seeing a mount which will completely conceal caps and let you run near ORTF (95-110 degrees, center of the caps 16.5cm apart in a large cap).
