I received from AEITECH (the European distributor of B9audio microphones) a pair of B9audio CM130F, that is a pair of 'omni cardioid' mic.
I used them for the recording of a live concert in a (quite reverberant) church in Timisoara, with a chamber baroque ensemble.
You can hear and see the results here:
Nice recording…and recommendation for the mics used
Presumably these days Schoeps aren’t much bothered by B9’s recent Euro market distribution and possible ‘disruption’…what’s a mere cosmetic similarity among friends ?
Nice sound. Did you put any extra Reverb on or is it that space?
Not sure about B9s, not exactly cheap but yes against Schoeps certainly more affordable. Sound fine.
I welcome B9’s availability…there’s enough ‘market share’ to go around, and more product choices for recording engineers
It’s interesting to compare the (relatively subtle ?) differences between the B9 ‘omni-cardioid’ and wide-cardioid capsules…C30F, C30H, C31F…via the 4 page description below:
