Excellent point, Mike-I will keep all three pairs, the two old and my new. =
I
have opted to get the 4022s, B & H had a decent deal for them, so my curren=
t
kit will be those mikes.
I just returned from a concert tour in Quito, Ecuador, and recorded a few
minutes of a creature I cannot identify (more than one of them, replying to
each other, I believe). It's a horrible, noisy nighttime city recording,
made on an iPod touch using Voice Memos app with a Belkin TuneTalk Stereo
attachment, so this is more for the sake of identifying the animal than
anything else. I will put it up sometime soon. (I am happy to receive any
virtual rotten tomatoes coming my way for it, since it is such a technicall=
y
bad recording, but that's all I had at the time. I use the thing for memos;
perhaps I should at least bring along a Sony stereo mic I have from when I
used it with my MD some time ago.)
Cheers,
Vlad

I have AT3032 (older omnis) and AT4041 (newer cardiods), and they both have
-10dB pad switches (and bass roll-off switches), and I find I'm switching
the pads in and out from one recording situation to the next. I have not
(yet!) had a situation (drum overheads, percussion) where I needed more SPL
handling than the pad switches afford.
On the other hand, even the best mics can break at an inopportune moment,
and having back-up mics in the kit can mean the difference between a
slightly less optimal recording and no recording at all.

Thanks Scott! The honesty is appreciated, and the invectives will bring a
smile to my face, also good! :^)
I think I am heading towards the AT4022-I wonder, should I hold on to the
MXL 990s and 991s for loud situations, like thunder, crashing waterfalls,
loud concert situations? (Can't think of many in my world as I am classical
musician, but I could imagine loud percussion or Spanish bagpipe bands on
the traditional music end.)
