Wink Which One Would YOU Choose?

I'll keep this short. I'm looking for a stereo pair for OH's and I've narrowed it down to Studio Projects C4 and Oktava Mk012's. I'm leaning towards the C4's because of the lower price and the inclusion of shockmounts. Which one would gearslutz go for? Thanks, Nate

If it was a straight choice id go for the Octava microphones however the Sontronics STC-1s is also worth checking out.

Mk012's sound great. But I would spend the extra dough and get a matched pair from the Sound Room. I've never used ones from Guitar Center, but I HAVE used the ones from the Sound Room and they are awesome.

The Oktavas are incredible... they have such a wicked annoying proximity effect, and that's what I think gives them such an all-inclusive view of distance things, they are just so sensitive, especially down in the low mids and low lows. A pair in ORTF is one of the seven wonders of the audio world.
