What is the most 'open' and 'full' LDC you know?

[Unclenny]

Wow.....open and full, eh?

An open question and I'm sure you'll get your fill of answers.

From what I 'know', since that was your opening parameter......I have recorded my vocals through a wonderful Lawson 47. It was very full.

I use a Peluso 251 in my own place and it seems to be very open indeed, though not quite as full as the Lawson.

'Open and Full' probably has more to do with the ROOM and the INSTRUMENT than the microphone. Take a great mic put it super close to the source in a dead room and guess what you get? Hint- it is not open and full.

Aren't "open" and "full" mutually exclusive buzzwords?

Brauner VM1... most vocalists say they've never heard themselves clearer and therefore sing better.

[warhead]

Most? Open for debate but even a Bock 195 with fat switch engaged could fulfill both wishes.

Your going to get beat up around here asking a question like that. There are a ton a variables with a question like that.

[Slikjmuzik]

a 47fet type is what I'd suggest. They are full and rich, but don't sound closed up on top. AT4047, Advanced Audio 47fet or cm48...those would be my first choices...

[sonic dogg]

Manley Reference. And a great room.

[vernier]

That I personally know, U47 and M49. And Elam 251, and a Church mic ....all old stuff here, not talkin' new.
