Subject: km56 in comparison to an 84

On a basic level, the KM56 is brighter and has more harmonic content as
compared to the KM84.


On a somewhat more basic level, it's a 3 pattern mike that's considered
among the very best sounding ever made. The potential problems are that the
diaphragms supposedly deteriorate and they always seemed a bit noisier than
later top of the line small diaphragm condensers.
