This being my first post I apologize if this thread is in the wrong place. I wanted to know what the difference was between the Studio Projects C1 and the later C1 V2 mic? Cheers, Warren.

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.

Hey all, i've been lurking around for a while and need some opinions
I'm buying equipment to record myself singing and playing guitar (for guitars it'll just be sm57- acoustic n electric)
The ones i've been looking at are Studio projects C1 and Audio technica AT4040... I'm poor so it can't be more than $300

In researching these mics I came across several reviews claiming a marked similarity in tone with the U87. Being the consumate cynic and devil's advocate I put it those of you fortunate enough to have used both. How much truth is in such a claI'm and how much BS. I doubt they are good mics. They get good word of mouth here to be sure. The question is aimed at what to expect if I go this route.

Hi,

First of all a big greetz to all ! GREETZ !
(well it's kinda big :P)

Anyways I'm the new kid on the block and why not begin with a idiotic request :p:

I'm wondering if I could hear the difference between a good and a bad pre-amp ( or between 2 different pre-amp's ).

So does anyone have sound files where you can clearly hear the difference?

Just a quick thanks to all the forum members who pointed me to this mic. Just got one and I love it for vocals. I don't have much experience with mic's, so I can't give any comparisons to the high-end mic 's. Until now, I have been using an Oktava and some MXL mics for all my vocals. The Oktava was pretty good, and I hated the MXL's. The C1 was exactly what I was looking for. Sounds amazing!

I have narrowed my search for a vocal mic down to these 2, but I can't decide which one. I am going to be using it mostly for vocals, maybe a little acoustic guitar, but I am more concerned with the vocals. Give me your opinions. From what I have heard from others, it seems that the C3 is an all around better mic, but the C1 is better for vocals. Thanks for your help on this.
