GC is out of matched MK012's and I can't afford sound room. So how do
you
all suggest I go about "matching" a pair in the store?

I guess this also raises the question, does it really matter if they
are
matched or should I just find a couple good sounding mics? Thanks!


Get a simple 1 KHz mic test tone generator. They typically come
in 94 and 104 dB versions. The old GenRad calibrator had both. You can
often find the GenRad for under $75 on eBay.

Hook the mics to a decent recorder. Record 'em. Take the recording
home to your DAW (or bring your PDAudio system with you) and compare the
levels.

This is far from being a full matching test, but it's doable in the
store.
