I just got my 4050 in the mail today so i threw it up with my stock mk219 to record some acoustic guitar and v/o clips.I have not done extensive testing on all kinds of sources but so far the mk219 has sounded more open and less thin sounding than the 4050.I also got the mk219 for $30 instead of $350 for the 4050.It makes me wonder how the modified mk219 would sound.Does anyone else have experience using the two side by side?I know they are two different mics but they seem to have a similar character.
