If it's so easy, then why aren't you selling microphones?


Â*Â*Â* I'm not, but other people ARE, at a far lower price
than Neumann, for a comparable product!

Suitably comparable for the needs of many people, yes.

Â*Â*Â* Just look at all the countless mic shoot-outs on
YouTube.Â* On the blind tests, people often pick the
far cheaper mics!

You can/they tell that from YouTube audio ?!!!!


Â*Â*Â* Depending on the source material, of course.Â* But just
the fact that a $200 mic is being compared to a $3,200
mic, is absolutely astounding!

Yes.


Â*Â*Â* Just like everyone has a smartphone now, whose capabilities
could not be bought AT ANY COST, not too long ago!

The technology level of smartphones and optical sensors increases
yearly, if not more rapidly. The technology of K87 capsules has had only
one minor change in decades.

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.
