This is apparently the secret. They put a plastic condom thingy in mine to protect it from wind blast - take that out but for christ's sake don't blow in them!

M160's through Neve 33114 EQ's is probably my favorite overhead sound.

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 times less useful in most situations!
they are however, very cool and I do use them frequently in more FX-y type roles...
If I was to go for a cheapo ribbon - I'd grab a single Beyer m-160 rather than two of these!!!. |
Royer through V72 strait to tape - probably my favorite electric guitar path.
Hey Emre! How was that gig with the Frenchies?
