    Austrian CC8 great mics
    Jay Matheson

    As a long time engineer I find that I'm needing to replace some of my favorite vintage mics with new ones that sound just as good. Everyone needs a good pair of small diaphragm condensers for drum overheads, stereo acoustic guitar and similar duties. Once I put this demo pair on drum overheads, I immediately knew that my vintage AKGs were going back in the mic locker indefinitely and I let my peeps at Front End know that I would be needing to purchase a pair! I got similar results on a stereo acoustic application. The client immediately said that it was the best that his acoustic had ever sounded. These mics have the classic sound of a high quality vintage mic without the hassle of the inconsistencies associated with them. I am so far quite impressed and plan to use these as my go to SDCs.
