In your experience, which of these microphones would give the best close-miked solo or in-the-mix sweet, mellow sound for a variety of styles: Royer R-122 MK II, AEA KU5a, or AEA A440. Or maybe something else?
I have an Se VR2 (with a Great River MP-2NV preamp) with my Collings MT-O. It’s a nice mic, but I’m still having to cut some in the 2-4kHz range or so.
My standard mics are Schoeps CMC6 MK4s in a spaced pair, which sound great, but I’d like to try something softer in the high end and maybe not have to EQ. I have to mic close due to acoustic issues in my apartment studio.
