t: Re: OT: Recommendations for Microphone and Archtop or Acoustic Guitar

[William Walker <billwalker@baymoon.com>]

The Rode would be a good choice, with the AT perhaps providing more  
detail, The Rode is warmer and rounder as it is more of an attempt at  
the old Neumann aesthetic. The AT is by comparison a bit more crisp in  
the high end detail which would make it more versatile perhaps if you  
intend to use it on anything other than an arch top like a flat top,  
or nylon string guitar, or amp and its very easy to simply eq out a  
bit of high end if needed without adding hiss, whereas adding treble  
boost after the fact, if for instance, the flat wound string sound was  
a bit too dull sounding, would potentially add some hiss.
