Does anyone have comments on the KSM141? The key interests are quality and accuracy. Will they hold up for heavy location use?. Please don't compare to Schoeps, AKG or Coles.

Thanks,

I have an Mbox 2, a macbook, and a stereo pair of KSM141's. I'm getting a bunch of pops and hissing from them. I tried a different pair of 141's and got the same thing. I tried a pair of SM57's and they were quiet. I thought there was a problem with the phantom power, but I tried a pair of Avlex C131's and they were fine. Any thought?

I am interested in these mics for overhead cymbal and acoustic guitar micing. Any users with comments?

$800 per matched pair.
