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.

I'm sorry. I thought you were actually serious until I read this.

I don't actually think this is funny.

I am serious. Live tape recordings suck compared to
digital, or at least the recordings I have heard!
