Hey Bob, what is the difference between the 87a and the 87c ? For my non-acoustic treated room which would reject the most off-axis noise ?

EDIT: Nevermind, did the research. Just picked up a used Beta 87a for a great price. So there, I HAVE indulged myself a tad and now have 2 mics and I will only use either very occassionally. Oh, the gasious flesh...






Mitch -


Frankly, I don't know the difference between the "A" and the "C". I've only used the "A". You should be very happy with the 87A. It's got a really tight pattern. We've used them indoors and out, in noisy bars and small stages, and they still sound great. As for "acoustically-treated" rooms, I think that is a canard used to sell room treatments. I'm recording with a tube mic with just a pop filter in a room cluttered with boxes, no Auralex. etc., and getting vocal tracks that I am satisfied with. If a plane flies over or a truck goes by, I just wait to do another track. Of course, I'm way back in the woods, so there isn't much ambient noise.


I'd be interested in how you make out with the C1 and the VTB-1.
