Hey guys,

A really kind and helpful man sold me a matched pair of MA-100s last week. I decided to try them out on my acoustic guitar. They sound pretty darn good to me. There's 4 demos in this video. I think I tracked the first one a little too hot. The second one I wasn't a big fan of the pick-on-string sound, but it really captured the warmth of these mics. It makes me want to try them on a tambourine or hi-hat or something like that next. The third and forth ones sound really good to me. I recorded the demo through my Line6 UX8 USB 2 interface into my iMac running Cubase 7. ($4000 guitar, $2500 computer $1500 mics going through $300 worth of preamps and conversion ftw! :P ) The stereo signal on this video is completely dry; no compression, reverb (other than from the room), EQ, nothing.

Let me know what you guys think. Make sure you watch it in HD or the bitrate will be converted down:
