I noticed it comparing the SF-24 to a matched pair of U87Ai: the 87s seemed so much brighter than I supposed there was something in the pres.

I switched the mics on the pres, and compairing the previous recording with the new, Sf-24 sounded with more high freq.

Do you have any ideas on the reason why the 512 seem to sound different (by pairs...)?

What about the U87? Does it sound the same on both sets of pre's?
