Frequently Asked Questions
The MC 930s are slightly more forward and detailed than the KM 184s, lacking a bit of the Neumann's inherent warmth but offering a more modern, brighter sound.
The EA 19/25 shock mounts are functional but basic; for critical applications, consider upgrading to a higher-quality aftermarket option for even better isolation.
Cardioid is generally fine for a folk trio, but be mindful of mic placement to avoid phase issues and ensure a balanced stereo image; experiment with slight angling.
