Another facet I've learned recently is that the "classic" dynamic microphones
like the 57, 421, M88, et al, seem to be more forgiving with EQ than most of
the "budget" condensers. They also seem to better cover up the fact that a
budget parametric (Aphex 109) is being used. Even so, I can tell the difference
in sound quality, especially if it's more than a 3 dB boost, or a 4.5 dB cut.
Guess that the Speck parametric EQ is the lowest priced for top level use
right now, based on end user comments.
