I want to record percussion, acoustic guitar and piano in my homestudio
or on location, so I need a versatile mic that can stand high sound
pressure levels but still has low self-noise for recording quiet
instruments. People in this group seem to like the AT4051, but in
Germany it's not available, only the AT4041.

Thanks for your advice, guys. I have listened to the Rode NT5 and don't
like their top end. Considering your suggestions I think I'll order a
pair of AT4053 and a pair of KM184 and compare them.

If I consider the hyper-cardioid AT4053 instead of the cardioid AT4051 -
would you also recommend taking the KM185 instead of the KM184?

Thanks again for your help,

Boris
