Just got them in late last week, had that Saturday session pictured above and didn't experiment on snare. Give me a week or so...I'm sure I'll have time to provide clips at some point. I really want to hear them on ac guitar soon!

They are excellent on drums / cymbals thus far (I used them for "overhead" duties although the mics in this case were placed about 2' off the ground pointing into the kit), plenty of detail and crack and oomph. Also, although the literature mentions they have a somewhat tight pattern I am finding they have somewhat of a wide cardioid pattern and nice off axis response. I really like the mounting system also, very unique.

OK so I'd guess we want to hear them on:

OH
Snare
Acoustic guitar
toms
hi hat

I can do that myself (it's just me around here!) soon.

Freaking sweet! I've been waiting for years for someone besides Sony to make another side-address small-diaphragm condenser.

Hey Warren, how long do you have them for? I might have to make a trip down to Columbia when I get back from Nashville.
