Nollykin Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 No, I dont. I have a Sennheiser E-835S which I mic amps with... its a cardoid.. what sort of mic is yours? Cardoid? you shouldnt have too much problem, provided the mic is a good quality one. As long as its up to speed with an SM58 it should be fine - what exactly is your problem?

gtrmac Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 It's a standard studio mic for acoustic guitar and many other applications including stereo drum overheads. Most people say that the original KM-84 sounds better than the reissued version which is not identical, hence the different model number. It is certainly a professional quality mic though.

Dak Lander Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 You'll probably do very well with the K184's for acoustic. That's really what it sounds like they were designed for. They have a slight rise in the treble, 9 kHz range & should really sound nice, add some "sparkle". Should do well for area mic'ing & maybe drum overheads too. I'd be a bit leery of using for vocals with out rolling in some bass though. The chart looks similar to the Carvin CM90E I have (Yeah, I know there's a huge price difference.) that works great for those applications but is a bit thin on vocals, at least MY vocals. They would probably do very well for spoken word or broadcasting too, because of that slight rise, but may indeed work for vocals. I would think if you've used the SM57's & like it for acoustic, the K184's will knock your socks off. Another small diaphragm condenser mic I like very well is Marshall Electronics MXL1000. You can see them HERE . I works very well for both vocal and acoustic guitar & other strings. Oops, couldn't spell condenser, even with a preview...
