| i just built my first studio using all akg mics, and I only play acoustic and sing solo, i find ldc akg mics to be perfect for creating effects that other mics would miss in a second. i have recorded for a year or more on sole 414 xls , now i have some xliis in the mail, a pair of 480b's also comes in handy although recording with only tw of them you cant get great vocals while they are miced on the guitar. for the solo guitar players..akg ldc's provide a way to use only two mics and have a perfect image of singing/playing...bottom line |
