RE: Suggestion

I picked up a pair of MC012s some years ago at a Guitar Center blowout sale. I got the kits with all 3 capsules. The cardioid capsules are flattest; not so great for vocals without a pop screen, but they're my favorites for a lot of instrument recording (among my admittedly limited arsenal of budget mics.) They're excellent as drum overheads or for plucked/stringed instruments. Very smooth and musical with nothing missing or exaggerated. I guess I am lucky because I didn't have any of the quality bugs others have encountered.

The omnis aren't quite as smooth but don't have the proximity effect. Haven't really used the hypercardioids much...

Good luck!
