What you guys think about those? I like AT a lot, solid built mics. I have a pair of 3525 and I love'em. I had a MXL 2001 and I have a 603s... I like'em too but not as much as the ATs. can you guys help me with this one?

Some of you might have noticed Marshall had a newer mic out not long ago named the MXL V69, a tube mic listing at $399 and being sold by some for under $300. The official Marshall web site had some incredible (literally) specs for the thing, include single digit self noise. Such incredulity was bluntly expressed on RAP not long ago.

Hi, I have a Marshall JCM800 100w! and I love the cranked up sound, but its just TOO LOUD! I heard from a guy that you can take 2 out of the 4 power tubes out, (you can only take out the ones on the sides, or the 2 in the middle). And he says it works, but Im wondering if taking 2 power tubes out will ruin my amazing marshall sound that I get now, or will it just make it different wattage?

Just curious if anyone has tried one of these mics & what their opinions/chains/applications were. I've tried renting one in LA but the studio managers can't seem to find a rental company that carries it. It's only about $150 so I might just buy one and try it out.

Bottom line; the'yre pretty damn close to each other in sound. The Studio Projects C1 is a little hotter (about 2 dB more output), and a little quieter (again, by about 2 dB). Overall, the frequency response is very similar, with maybe a -1dB shelf around 800 to 1,000 Hz on the Studio Projects C1. The Marshall MXL-V67G sounds slightly fuller, but again by a very small amount.

I still haven't had time to do an audio shootout between these two mics, but I thought some of you may be interested in what I found when I took both of them apart and compared them side by side.

Which sound better for overheads, hi-hats and bottom snares? :roll:

This was going to be a private e-mail to Harvey, but I decided to make it an open letter here instaed.

I hope you aren't sick of this subject and/or question Harvey. I have been off the 'net for several weeks and I know this has probably been covered before but...
