Microphone Experiments

[Alex64]

Hopefully this is the right place to post this. 

I finally caved and purchased the Royer 121 Ribbon Microphone that has been haunting me for some time.  I am thrilled with it.  I used to be thrilled with my MikTel C5 small diaphragm condensor for recording acoustic guitars.  The C5 created a bit of a stir when it came out a couple of years ago.  It turns out that the difference between these two microphones is like night and day - to my ears at least.  And I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to buy the Royer.

The first two tracks are recorded with my OM/PW.  The first is through the C5 and the second through the Royer.

The last track is the VS through the Royer. 

All tracks are flat through a Demeter VTMP-2B tube preamp to Cubase.  No EQ tweaks and the like.

Sounds good through the crappy little speakers on my MacBook! 
(Isn't that the acid test these days?)

That, for sure IS the acid test!
