just FYI I use a Shure SM57 mic to record and I love it, it's a workhorse. But I run screaming from their IEMs - I just can't stand in ear monitors. But I'm Shure they sound very nice.

I listen to Grado and tend to dislike the sound produced by Senns.

Grado do have recording mics too ... Joseph Grado just developped one last year.

Sure, Sennheiser makes some great mics. A friend of mine records his organ with three Sennheiser mics. And the recordings sound just great... on my Grados.

The only mics I've ever used to record the organ at my church with are a couple of Audio-Technica condenser microphones that have a razor-flat frequency response, in my opinion, as any good mic should.

Jesse is having a fun time digging up old threads today.

Maybe to gain his 50th post...

Interesting take on source.

BTW, on Microphones as OG source...
...the greatest Microphone ever made...
...IMHO, is not the Neumann U-87.

It is the AKG C-12. The OG.

Absolute perfection.

Audio Technica 4060 is a great Mic too.
