    I was expecting the M160 to be the smoothest and my favorite but I was wrong. The AKG D190 is the smoothest, my favorite, and I really like what I perceived as a "woody" tone that it offered out of the acoustic. Second place goes to the m160. Third place goes to the M201.

    One of the neatest mic comparisons I've seen.

    Cool comparison.......All these mic´s are good ones. Slightly different charakter voicing, but everyone is nice. I prefered my AKG D190E. I use it over 30 years and it works brilliant.

      That was my pick really opened up at the end with the full chord voicing.

    That ART comp sounds pretty darn good! My favorites are the Beta 57 in the first set, then the e609 and M160 when compressed.

    Amazing, thank you for doing this. My 57 beta (with a similar ART opto comp) sounds exactly like yours, which is great because I wouldn't have believed it when I heard D190 and M160! Incredible, it was like I was listening to a record from the 60s or 70s, totally surreal.
    Do you remember where you placed the mics?

    • @Janne19691
      @Janne19691  8 лет назад

      You are welcome!The mics were placed something like the top mic in this picture, but very close the guitar.

      Probably too close as some lower frequencies are coming quite strong.

    Though the M 160 is a ribbon microphone, it wins hands down here, the 57, close behind. The 609 is just a little too hyped, the lows sound sweet though. The other choices? Not for me, not on this player, playing this riff, on this guitar, through this amp anyway. In a mix? Who knows!

      Hi, ribbons are also dynamic because they both are electromagnetic devices.

    • @DatREALmusicdude
      @DatREALmusicdude 7 лет назад

      Yeah, but, the ribbon element sounds entirely different, has a much flatter response. Unlike most ribbon mics, the M 160 is HyperCard. rather than Figure 8, and so, the prox. Effect associated with Figure 8 is a bit tamer. Sweet sounding mic.
