Hi all! I've heard all about the C1 sounding like a U87 (i have no idea what that sounds like, but it sounds like it sounds good )
But I've also read good reviews about the AT4040 and i think it looks better and more 'trustable' Opinions please! ANY opinons welcome Im going to use it with a saffire for recording my voice (male vocals) |

VTB1 is the pre
From test at friend's, we could have the C1 along U67 and 2 different U87 (one needing maybe some check up, the other top notch). It did nicely. To be precise, on the recording made to test (cello, my voice -bass baryton-, melodica)(sorry, it was what was needed then) the C1 was less noisy, somewhat airier, better dynamics and transients and the difference was evident, C1 was also a bit more bright. Now, I won't say for all use it'll be better instead of a 87. The 2 U47 were not on display that day so we couldn't compare (true btw The pre used were both high end stuff, though I don't remember the makes, sorry. (2 different sessions, all takes thru the same pre each time, recorded in Pro Tools, listened A/B) I'm a strong advocate of the C1, now I can't help out of the AT4040 as I don't have listened to it in the same conditions… jdimitri, what's your voice? Bass, barytone, tenor? -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
