hey all

I havent asked a question in a while so i'm looking forward to hearng from RO opinions on whats up.

Hi Guys

Another Question here :lol:
A friend recommend me to buy a pair of Josephson C42, I'll use it for OH..it's Good?

Glad to hear advice from U guys. :D

Best Regard

BTW..is it OK if I use Neumann U87 ai for Close Micing on guitars AMP?(frequently)

I have a couple of Josephson e22s mikes coming in soon to try out and was wondering if anyone had any experiences, opinions they would like to share about them. Going to be trying them on drums, piano and acoustic guitar.

There arent many samples of these floating around so I thought id contribute to the cause.
I consider those microphones to be the finest pair in my locker, far surpassing any omni I have ever used. . The capsules were designed to be used in measurement applications, and as such are ruler flat and very sensitive.

How do these two "budget" cardioids stack up? Opinions welcomed...

Greetings.

I am day or two away from buying two Josephson C42's. Should i do it? Speak now or forever hold your peace.

How would you guys describe the sound of these two mics?
Are they truly awesome or are they semi-pro mics?

I'm thinking of buying 1 each for some variation on overheads
and acoustic guitar..

Thanks.

Just thought I'd share my thoughts. I got to try out my new C42's as drum overheads and on acoustic this weekend. I think they are fantastic. I used some Neumann KM184's a while back (or were they 183's. ?), and going from memory I think the Josephson's compare quite favorably. I still might prefer the Neumann's for some things, but I really liked the C42's for what I was doing.

Time to upgrade the old Oktava MK012's. Use: drum overheads and acoustic gtr mostly. I'm using them mostly to capture cymbals and the voice of the snare and toms. I always mic the toms, kick, snare etc so I don't need lots of low end in my overheads. Price range around $1000 + or - a few hundred bucks.
Here's what I know of

hats off to Fletcher for giving these babies such a hard cyber-push. Otherwise, i might not have heard of them. :tu:
