RODE NT2-A, Audio-Technica AT3035, Studio Project C1 or Sterling Audio ST55,66 etc?

Forums

Hi, I'm in the market for a condenser mike and am trying to decide which one to get. I've read a lot on here and reviews on musians friend and sweetwater about the ST55, 66 etc. Today I went to a music store and had the chance to listen to the RODE NT2-A and the AT3035. It seemed as if the AT was a bit brighter maybe, the RODE had some neat features like dual diaphram, and other knobs.

Studio Projects C4 ROCKS!

Just wanted to say, I'm using these for the first time tonight and I am loving them on a Martin Acoustic. They sound very natural without all the boomyness of my other larger diaphram condensers I used to have to use (I just didn't have anything else). Cant wait to try these out as drum overheads. For $200 a piece or a little less, well worth it.

the ol studio projects c1

so i've been using the studio projects c1 for about 5 years or so, love it. have tried to replace it with a ksm27, blueberry, and groove tube gt66. and frankly i've since sold the blueberry (always needed extra eq with it), ksm27 was always boring for 99% of vox. and gt 66 was ok but never stuck out for me either. the c1 has always sounded great to me and stuck out in the mix.

Studio Projects C4 mic for acoustic guitar?

Forums

I record a lot of acoustic guitar in my home studio. I currently switch between an AT4040 and an SM57. The 57 sounds, well, like a 57 - a bit chunky for guitar. The AT4040 has a slight kick in the low mids that make my guitar and mandolin sound a bit boxy. I usually have to EQ it out. So, I'm looking for an additional mic for acoustic guitar/mandolin/fiddle micing.

AT4040 vrs AT 4050 vrs Studio Projects T3

Hey everyone, been researching this last night and today.

The AT 4050 seems cool but I already have a multipattern mic(AKG perception 400)... so my main question is, is the 4040 the same thing just without multiple pickup patterns?

Plus, what is the general opinion of the T3 vrs the AT mics?

thanks
