What is the word on the street about the Neumann KM 183 d? I only found one page on the net with any sort of review. Does anyone here have one? How does it compare to other quality omnis, like Schoeps? Would it be good for recording organ, or choir?

Hi,
I'm out looking for a pair of omnis, and the budget is one of my problems. Was offered a pair of KM183-s at a decent price, have heard them in a small room and liked them. Not much of a test for my usage though.

I've done a search and found very little about this mic. Has anyone here used it? I'm rather intrigued by the spheres that can be attached, and the changes these make to the sound in real world conditions. When these are attached, the assembly looks like the innards of the tlm-50. How does the sound compare with the 184 and 183?

Thanks in advance,
John Stafford

The KM 183s For overhead drum mics in XY.

If XY mics are above drummer should the Nuemann Logio face up or down?
