cuby · 11th September 2006

looking to get a good mic, but wondering if the M12 F with modern power supply is good enough to purchase? Don't really need the multi-pattern thing, but am most concerned about the sound. Same goes to the M251 F, does it sound as good as vintage 251? I will use it mainly for vocals, and don't know if the M12 would give me advantage over the more versatile M251?

thanks

Jim
