Diegel · 8th January 2008

Sounds like I gotta get an EV ND/868 to try up against my akg d112. I find it hard to imagine something can beat it. It just seems to have everything there no more no less than what it should. And it seems like I can sculpt it with eq anyway I want. No other mic I tried seems to have the low end information and just balls and integrity the D112 delivers. Maybe some other mics sound better in a mix raw but I would rather have all the information first before making decisions on how to sculpt it to fit in the mix.
