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

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
