Reiner,
That is a very interesting subject for discussion. It appears that
Chinese microphones are upsetting the established order. Whatever they are,
they are not throwaways, except for the very cheapest. In comparisons
between Neumanns and MXL's, or Studio Projects, differences are noted, but
not necessarily killing differences.

I don't want to start a discussion about chinese and not-chinese here. I
personally stay on my Schoeps, MBHO and Neumann... some of them are more
than 30 years old and still in permanent use. I recently bought a
Schoeps MK4 capsule and found a perfect match to an other 15 year old
MK4 - can you do that with a chinese microphone ? -

Nevertheless, I appreciate your
mention, because MBHO is not well distributed here,

This is true even in germany. But I think that microphones are only a
few % of Mr. Haun's business. But I know that MBHO is manufacturing
capsules for other well known manufacturers (Brauner, Audix...)


The MBNM-622 looks interesting. Do you have any experience
with it?

I would not go for the 622E-PZ, it's an electret PZM and designed to be
placed on the floor. I think, the usage is too limited. Go for the
410's. You can use them on a Jecklin disc, but you can use them as a
general purpose omni (with an excellent sound) Try 2 omnis's in a
distance of 40cm (which is exactly 15.748031 inch - we go metric, inch
by inch :-)).
This gives you a recording angle of 140 degrees and a wonderful sound.
(in my ears a much better sound than a jecklin setup)
