Anyone here familiar with this microphone, or the M200 (same thing)??

I am looking for a pair of SD condenser for overheads or acoustic
guitar. I am looking for a warm woody sound, not overly scooped or
hyped. How do these compare to other mics in the range? I'm only
interested in the cardiod capsules at the moment.


Thanks

Tyler

What you would say if I had a line on a matched pair for $399? They
have the card. capsules, and appear to be in perfect cosmetic
condition, though I haven't heard them.

I dunno. How much do they cost if you didn't have a "line" on them? If
they're normally $1200, I'd say you shouldn't take the bait unless you had
proof that you weren't buying stolen mics. If they're normally $500,
I'd say give a listen.

Good point Mike.
In this case however, since Gefell very recently changed many of it's
authorized distributers, great prices can legitimatly be found on old/new
stock from some of the former Gefell distributers. I myself picked up an
amazing deal on M940 units at under $400 each instead of the $695 to $990
each I have been quoted from the new reps.

I personally do not use hypers as overheads, a bit too tight of a polar
pattern for my taste. But this is a great deal if you use them on acoustical
instruments.
If you don't wan't them, please forward the contact info for Banjo Mart and
I'll scoop em up...

It was a used matched pair of SMS2000 with the m21 hypercardioid
capsules. I heard these list for $1650. Banjo Mart had them for $399.
They are in perfect shape with cases, but no clips. I have a pair of
shockmounts that fit perfectly.

I had a chance to try them on acoustic guitar; they are very nice.
Warm mids, woody, just like I wanted. None of the clickiness with pick
noise I've been getting with my very crispy MXL 603s pair. With the
gefells, if I kick up the EQ above 10K, I can get some nice sparkle
without getting to crispy.

My only concern is that the pattern will be too tight for drum
overheads.
