Re: More McCauley M421 Measurements
ANother big difference in mic quality is the consistancy of the mics-especially up high.
I used to use some inexpensive mics (not the Behringers) that had a pretty consistant response. However the levels were a bit off (by a couple of dB. This did not both me as I would always calibrate the mics to the same level before doing a measurement session.
Awhile back I replaced those mics with Earthworks. WOW. The levels are dead nuts on, and the response just lays on top of each other. Almost scary.
But even with the more matched response, I seriously doubt that the overall eq of the system would be any different with the 2 mics-at least enough to be noticed. I don't chase every little bump in the response like some people (until they move the mics).
But it sure is nice to use mics that all "match up". And no, I did not get a matched set. Just 10 random mics.
It just nice to use good quality tools.
