Great sounding mics
fantastic video! Would love to hear opinions on the other warm audio throwback mic models
Wow! The warm audio mic really packs some bottom end. I wasn't expecting that.
Fantastic video, very informative!
Glad you liked it!
The drums were a very noticeable difference, with more high end in the RCA. The acoustic guitar was virtually identical. Did you all use a high impedance pre-amp or Cloudlifter Hi-Z for both mics?
Hi David, no inline booster/lifter was used. Both mics were straight into a set of Ward Beck 660's. The WA 44 was quite a bit more output, I turned it down to match the RCA but left it up a bit to show there was a difference. What I noticed on the acoustic was the WA 44 was very muddy sounding. but superior on the drums and vocals.
I used Sennheiser DT 990 Pro headphones to put the video together, the differences are much more apparent on the phones. In my own studio, I always use an inline booster and sometimes with an impedance loading device.
Great test!
Thank you!
