What really works for low cost? What every recordist wants to know,..
If you will commit to 4 mics up front, a good dealer might send you
three different pairs to try out. I think you need omnis for a cube
(boundary effect). Rich and Curt will probably have some
suggestions, but my short list of small condenser omnis to test would
be:
Studio Projects C-4
Rode NT-5's
and the KM-23's (if Doug or Klas can wire them balanced)
And in the $100-$250 a pair range, the small condenser omnis made by
Octava, Samson, Behringer or Nady could test out to your expectations
in this application. Only tests will tell. Rob D.
