The akg sure is lovely, liking the grocery store mic too

[@themoonbootman]

The akg has a certain sound to it that reminds me of some old psych rock acoustic tones. Nice

[@soaringtortoise]

Yes, I really like the AKG too. I'm glad I broke down and bought something from an actual music store. You're right, the Shure sounds surprisingly good in comparison. Thanks for watching.
