Isn't that a bit subjective though? i mean the subject isn't the recording itself, but rather the a/b comparison of the recording without and with the M600.
it was recorded in an apartment.
when i listen to these types of a/b tests i'm not judging the recording itself. but rather the differences between the recordings, as we are judging the variable. In this case, the variable is the microphone mount. With the M600, the flute sounded more finished, as if it were solo'd in a mix, complete with equalization. Without the M600, it sounded about as good a flute recording one could get in an apartment.
I was curious to perhaps how the tonal shape of a male vocal would change, would it be
as noticable as the flute example, or
less noticable. But realizing that another sample of a male vocal will most likely not answer my question, i think i'll just go ahead and order a pair from lasvegasproaudio tomorrow. They have a great trial/return system, and if gilmour's engineer, mr. wagener, and so many others (with reputations on the line) are saying this thing rocks then the least i can do is utilize lasvegasproaudio's trial system. I've learned that some questions just cannot be answered on forums or with a/b tests. I need to hear what this thing does to
MY TC30k's and
MY AT4060.
When i realize how much great gear i've bought for thousands of dollars without hearing it in MY environment, a $275 mic mount endorsed by so many suddenly becomes a very,
very small chance to take.
