Which do you prefer?

I will say that on mic 1 if you do a shelf at about 500hz of -5 or 6 db it cleans right up.
I can believe that, but it doesn't sound like it has much real top end
extension either. It also has a hollowness that the others don't have.
That may be the room or the instrument, but either way it's a thing I
don't like.
And on mic 2 if you take out 1.8khz, about 4db Q of 1 it is really close to mic 3 in sound. Mic 2 is my favorite, but you have to take out some of those mids that don't appear in some other mics....
I am inclined to agree that I prefer mike 2.
Mic 3 is probably the most natural but it is a little bass light....
I'd say that it sounds more clangy to me. That might be a mike resonance
but it might be just how the guitar sounds, too. Something is definitely
going on.
these are all directional miss, by the way. I did another test later with just mic 2 and a DPA omni in the same position and the DPA was the clear winner of the whole lot, but it sounded remarkably similar to mic 2 with the EQ.
