Great O=overheads for a 3-mic drum setup.

I used these on a session just last night. I had used the KM184s (cardioid) as OHs on a set before and was not as pleased with the result compared to some AKG 451s. However, I decided to give these a shot in a 3-mic setup with a Royer R122 front of kit and the 183s spaced pair. They were all running through CL 7602s with the X-mod... The results were detailed, natural, and warm! I couldn't believe how much body I was getting out of the Neumann's from the toms and snare without kick mud. Highly recommended, and I don't write reviews.

Great Product!

I recently purchased these microphones, and I'm extremely pleased with their performance! I had them in the AB position to record a live wind ensemble performance. ORTF, NOS, Blumlein, or any of the positions that have the microphones close together were out of the question due to the visual appearance to the audience. So I knew I would have some stereo imaging issues with the microphones set at about 7 feet apart from each other, angling inward. Despite the recording having that very issue, the quality itself was top notch! Every detail in the band was captured beautifully. I can't wait to get the chance of setting the microphones properly, then I'll be a happy camper.
