Is yours one of the newer 46mx types or the original -- I have the original.
Thanks,- Jim
Mine says 46mxc. It's definitely more natural sounding. The AEA has a pronounced midrange bump, but it sounds great in a mix. I mainly use the AEA in conjunction with a 57 on guitar cab. I did try it on acoustic slide guitar, but also used a modded Oktava 319, and needed to add some 319 in the mix for presence. I suspect the shinybox might have been a better choice on that session, but I keep thinking because the AEA cost more, it must be better. (Better for some things, but not all things, is what I'm finding out.)
