Disappointed most prefer slamming and/or don't seem to have any major
experience or opinions of AA's new CKR12 capsule which is a relatively
major change in manufacturing and materials for condenser mic capsules,
which according to them makes the concept of individually matched pairs
redundant.


AKG has had a history for a few years now of making beautifully-engineered
terrible-sounding microphones. So many times I have asked the engineering
folks why particular microphones sound the way they do, to receive the
politic answer that the sound was part of the design requirements.

What you are seeing now is what happens when you take AKG engineering people
and free them from the AKG marketing people. And it's a beautiful thing.
