| Does anyone know what exactly the Lundahl/Cinemag transformer upgrade does for a mic? I was looking at some of the cascades and one in particular I seemed to have noticed a $150 price difference with only a transformer upgrade. I'm really wanting a ribbon mic as I'm a brass player and ribbon mics seem to capture more of the soul of the horn/sound.
My only mic at the moment is an AT 4033a, and it does well as a room mic. But seems to add too much color to the sound. While some of that might be the preamp and DI, I still feel that a ribbon mic would be better suited for my audio tastes.
Utlimately I'd like a blumlein pair of FH II's. But I'd like to start with a single and hopefully cheaper ribbon mic. Possibly a cascade to get a feel for their quality, but not a FH II since I'll eventually get a matched stereo pair of them. Any suggestions in the $300 (+/- $150) range.? For use on Trombone and Brass Ensemble(s)? |
