how much of gain do you need to record your acoustic guitar?
greetings,

Yes, the cable is ca. 4 meters long.
The usual polar pattern for ribbons is figure 8.
I used about 45 db for the guitars

GREAT for some things (as shaman mentioned: room mics!!) but I've never used them over the royers for FOK, acc gtr, vox, OH, snare, HH, dirt gtr or pretty much any application where I want a really usable representation of whats in the room!

You do get what you pay for in this situation! They are ten times less than the royers and ten time less useful in most situations!
Each to his own. I allready have 3 Brauner VM-1 which are needle sharp accurate so I don´t have the need for more accuracy mics. I think the royers a way overpriced for what they do. Yes you´re absolut right in your sound description - this is exactly what I´m lusting for...I ve got plenty usable representation of what´s in my room - Had all those clear preamps like Avalon, Manley Slam! etc. - what I need badly now is COLOUR

We also had the beyer m-160 and 260. Not my taste. The t-bone is just so completely different from what I know from condenser mics...

i called thomann and they have none left of the old series...
someone wrote that on the german keyboards-forum.
they changed some internal-electronic device...
