I recommend the Nevaton MC48, a XY stereo microphone, as an alternative to a pair of AKG C414BXLS. I have got both and like the Nevaton better for recording my piano:

The sound is rather good but not the stereo image : the violin and the cello are each on a different channel which is unpleasant for listening. You might try to put both mics, I guess there are two o ...

I agree that they have a great value with respect to their price. You can listen to them here on piano:

Yes, they sound very natural. ...

You might also consider a pair of Oktava MK-012. You can compare it with the NT5 and the STO-2 in a shootout here:

A pair of NT5 is a good choice anyway, m ...

I think AKG tend to be more neutral and precise� Beyer more 3D and excited in terms of upper harmonics! Am i correct? My ears still function properly?

I just had the opportunity to compare ...

Thank you Madmax for your appreciation. A big lesson that I can draw from this test is that the listener taste is a key factor for ranking microphones! Up to now, I have got as first choices STO-2, MK ...

Note that for this extra F49 omni take, the lid is at it smallest opening while it was full open for the extra M130 take like for all the shootout takes. So your feeling may be just an illustration th ...

Yes, mono can be so good! What is the mike of Miles ? (U 47 ?)

Well does that mean that I could hear the difference between the AD converters of my Fireface 400 and a separate converter within the 1 k€/k$ cost range ? Apogee, Lavry, Mytek ... I am going to t ...

Hi,

all three Bach recordings sound great. I added 1 dB to the second one for balancing better the levels but the left-right difference is opposite to the ones of 1 and 2. The differences in sound ...

I haven't been this impressed with a mic in a LONG time! The K2 should cost $4,000 - not $600!
