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?
