I've got my AKGs up for sale, maybe I should change my mind!

[@coffeehigh420]

sennheiser to me sounded most natural

[@СашаГаджетотСибиридоКрыма]

For me too -it has more obertones.

[@TempoDrift1480]

I didn't think anyone else had a more ringy snare next to me!

[@gnappognagno6949]

AKG is the absolute winner. Frequency response clearly more extended than the other 2 microphones, you can hear cymbals very clear and loud , other than snare drum, and also the bass drum is more evident and punchy ... it's a matter of sensitivity and the AKG microphone has the best sensitivity among the 3 microphones , and respectful of the natural sound of the snare drum ...

604!!! 🥇

WOW AKG 😮 the highest resolution to me

[@julesplace9107]

Was mic placement random, or did you find the sweet spor for each mic? Neither of them are similarly placed

[@bruno_dbbj]

the mics were placed above the edge of the snare pointing towards the center

The AKG surprised me!

[@vincentgondran1119]

Thank you!

[@dissectorvivarium]

For this music AKG the best.

[@dagb7271]

Thanks. Good test. AKG had the highest resolution as a condenser mic. Nice to hear it compared with the classic dynamics SM-57 and E-604. I think I actually prefer the AKG.
