I thought I'd let those of you who responded to my enquiry about these
microphones know that just before christmas I took them along to a
small local recording studio.

The manager kindly set up A B comparisons recording acoustic guitar
against a pair of Neumann KM184s and against an AKG C12VR.

We both thought that the clean results favoured the Hammond
microphones which produced a result similar to the Neumanns but with a
warmer quality and a very full rich bass.

The C12VR in both omni and cardioid modes produced results with very
strong treble content. (He did say the this was not a microphone he
would choose for recording acoustic guitar).

During the exercise I learnt that my home recording results with the
Hammond microphones were probably impaired by the absence of a
microphone preamplifier so I am now going to rectify that.

Thank you to everyone who responded with suggestions and a happy New
Year to you all!
