Hi, people! Help!
I need an advice for my decision: RODE NTK/ K2 or AKG C414 B-ULS/C 4000B?
My aI'm is to record acoustic instruments:
1 Nylon and steel guitars, tar, saz, sitar, dulcimer, kanun, celtic harp
2 Cello, violin, fiddles, hurdy-gurdy
3 Different fluts, bagpipe, mizmar and other reed instruments

Does anyone have an opinion on this mic? How good is it (for the price)? And what is the difference between the C3000 and the C3000b model except from the colour? What instruments is it usable for?

is there a difference in the sound of the k240df and k240s?
I want to buy mixing headphones, somebody i know who run a good studio for years suggested me beyer dt990pro, but they are a bit over my budget, how do they sound different than the k240 ? do they really worth saving up?

thanks!

I have only had experience with the 414 B/ULS and was wondering how some of you would compare it to the other 414 models. What models do you prefer? To my ears the ULS is warm. Are the other models brighter? I prefer warmth over brightness although some air is nice.

I recently tried an experiment with an older version of the c 414 but not sure which one it was as I was in a student studio here in london and was pleased with the results,it was all black ? not like the new one's but how do they compare when Micing high gain guitar amps compared to say a SM57?

Are the XLII's good mics? I'm interested mainly in vocal applications. Is the TLII $150 better than the XLII?

thanks in advance,
Nick
