Re: Test what you think you know: Part 2Agreed. On the Pearl Jam '03 tour I went out on, We tried out Audix's new spring steel mic balls on the OM7 and there was a noticeable change in sound relative to the older original "crushable" mic balls. The gauge of the wire used to form the ball was probably slightly different. We wound up sticking with the originals for the time being since PJ runs really hot monitors and keeping them stable with known quantity mics is paramount. Not to mention that the lead vocalist was used to a particular sound of the mic.
