I’ve never heard better mics for OH. Just simply perfect. Very fast with transients, accurate and punchy. Stereo field is great.
But for orchestra as main room mics placed on tall booms they always fail.. Too much noise and midrange, it doesn’t sound full, close nor true. No wonder they don’t get a good rap among engineers and large format orchestral studios. U87 beats them easily, not even mentioning DPA.
They’re very nice for a small string setup, though. Quartet, quintet, something that doesn’t require placing mics far.
