Mike Jasper's Bigass Small Diaphragm Mic Shoot-out


Even More Mics

Since writing the original article, Mark Fouxman has come up with an even more amazing SD mic mod -- his reinvention of the lowly AKG C 1000 S (which did get a top 15 vote from one of the panelists).  The upgrade in sound is amazing and while I still think the Jim Williams mod of the AKG C 460 B is still the number one mod overall, this is my next favorite SD mod. Although the Schoeps has more clarity in the high end, the mellow tone of Fouxman's AKG C 1000 S mod sounds strikingly similar to the CMC64.

But don't take my word for it. Hear for yourself.
