There is so much marketing obfuscation around microphones. Does the M Audio Luna use a K67-style, K47 style or a unique design capsule? Is the frequency response of the circuit arrange to provide a complementary response to the capsule? Are the gain stages arranged so that there is the most euphonic onset of distortion (FET first, transformer second, bipolar stages last)?
Oh ok, I had no idea. As for my Luna, I don't know at all, but it sounds really good everytime I use it, it's great for RNB, suits my voice very well.
