That's majorly inconsistant with my experience. The MDR7506 are smiley faced
EQed, but they are clean. If you're hearing distortion, it's probably what's
in the system. A lot of Chinese LD and SD mics have a lot of trash.

hmmm... maybe my headphones are problematic then. The trashiest mic i own is


a 414. Most stuff gets the schoeps and dpa.....


The 414 (most every version I know) can be very spitty with a LOT of preamps,
Mackie included. Get it on a good preamp and the sound quality changes
dramatically.


This is the case with the transformer versions like the /EB and /ULS but I
don't think it's the case with the /TL or /TLII. Mind you, the TLII has other
problems.
