j45nick Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I had never heard of those mic's, but they sound pretty good for their cost. The singer and the guitar sound good as well. Nothing like an SJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipss36 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 The guitar mic appears to be a c12 Akg type clone mic. Great on acoustic guitar , can be a bit bright depends on the mic pre used, wonder what capsul they are using ? Many diy mics like this out there of this type , using a apex 460 mic and gutting it, then stuffing it with the same curcuit as the old c-12 , better tube, better capsul, some killer capsul repos are out there now adays as well, IMHO it's the capsul that makes the mic. A new Akg c-12 is about 5k , vintage one are even more $$$ ,clones are much less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At about $500 US, it looks like a really good value. The vocal mic (F 47) is dirt cheap at about $150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipss36 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Wonder if the f47 is a fet mic with a 47 capsul? Much better balanced capsul frequency response wise, Problem with china based mics are the high end , just takes attention to detail to get the capsul tuned with a sweet high end vs ice pick ,stack a few tracks with the same mic , ya have a mess, believe there c12 type is from the same factory as the avantone c12. At a out the same price, think the apex 460 with a few upgrades is a better value. Ymmv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
