Hank, I assume you've used an RNP with various mics (my assumption might
very well be wrong).

If that's the case, have you discovered any mics that seem to work
particulary well with the RNP for "acoustic music" situations?


Several people have discovered the RNP works exceptionally well on a
SM57, (e.g. see Harvey Gerst on http://www.mojopie.com/rnp.html). Hank's
suggestion quoted above was far from random.


McQ went after that and nailed it. Facing reality, people paying
attention and who have hooked SM57's to good pres with transformer front
ends realize that the SM57 can deliver nicely in some contexts. Mark's
challenge was getting that without input iron, which would have driven
the cost above his target.
