cymbal mic suggestions

[HandsOfDespair]

tried the km84 today, sounded way darker than I expected but I still love them, miles ahead of nt5s

I like 414's cuz they're so versatile. I use them for overheads, room mics, vocals, guitar etc
They just plain rock.

Haha, the 414 is a bit of a desert island mic

Are Pelusos any good on OH's. Just asking out of interest as I know someone that had a pair

Really dig the KM184's, good choice. I haven't tried 414's as overheads, but I totally love them as room mics (and frankly, they sound good with almost anything). I don't like the 451's, too bright and brittle IMO, I might throw one on the hihat but that's about it. We actually tried it as a snare bottom once too, but it somehow got totally compressed and sounded like ass.

Myself, I'm probably going with Mk012's when I've got the money.

414s are GREAT mics. Bit darker than you might expect.

Comparison clip?

Comparison clip?

Yeah, thinking about the same... I don't say that they don't sound badass, but did you compare them to anything to see if something might've sounded even better?

no i didnt

i just recognize the difference as better

i've recorded cymbals the same way for the past 4 years, oktava's seperated pair

so it was easy for me to hear a difference

Dark is good

Sterile is bad

KM184!!!

I got a set (new) with a 20% price reduction. The shop apparently needed the money....
I ask for information, he straight away send it, without informing me, saying to test them out....
Told him I just asked for information, he said I could have them for 80% of the price that Thomann sells them...well that was a no-brainer!
