We decided to try out the Sony C-100 against the AKG C-414 with brass capsule on mono overhead drums and acoustic guitar.
In this video each microphone went into a 1073 microphone preamp with no eq applied. These sound sources were hard patched into protools.
This is a dry recording so you can hear the microphones as they naturally capture the sound.
While we would typically use eq and maybe even compression on these sources while tracking we decided to go as clean as possible so the sake of the test.
There is a beta 52 kick drum mic as well, the rhodes and bass went direct. These sounds are also completely dry and unmixed for sake of the test.
