So whats High End? Is there a definition somewhere? Price limit?
Only items over $1000?
The moderaters don't really seem to care....
The K2 sounds like a high end mic to me, and thats all that matters.
U67s don't work well on a lot of sources either....  |
Thank you,
You beat me to it. Just because a mic or pre is under $2,000 or even $1,000 that does not mean it's not high end. Some examples are the AKG 414 or Neumann KM 184. One of my favorite mic's is the Blue Blueberry, and now the K2. I know many pro studios have both mic's hanging around.
The K2 is not made by a company that just copied a design from a Neumann or AKG and had it thrown together in China. The K2 was put together by their own research and development crew and put together in Australia under strict quality control. If you have a SOS subscription, you can read this article about Rode and how they make their mic's now.

Pretty cheap in getting just the on line subscription which I highly recommend. You others will have to wait about 5 months before reading it as they hold off on allowing you to read their last couple of issues for free. Older issues you can read on line for free.
