Akg c430 vs at pro-37 - oooooo..... i think you ask too much of the c430. probably wanna scratch it off your list. might look into some adk mics. i think they have some good cheap ones. or possibly kel mics.

Akg c430 vs at pro-37 - these will most often be used to mic an orchestra type setting where we only need 2 mics up front for a reinforcement job. occasionally as a stage reinforcement.

Talk me out of some sp c4's - here's the deal; i'm really getting tired of these dumb akg c430's i have for overheads. you have to place them so they are pointing directly at as many critical point as possible (ex: through the edge of a cymbal, across a At $319 the c4's are a steal and there's not a reason why everyone should not have a pair- that being said, there's nothing wrong with getting a pair of 451's if you can swing them- however, you will always find...
