Re: banging on about guitar mics .... again

I think I need a small diaphragm mic rather than a large one. Something I
can focus more easily on the sound source. I read elsewhere that the Shure
KSM137/SL is a good mic but at the top end of my budget. As you can't try
before you buy it is difficult to decide without at least some kind of
recommendation.

My sound recording equipment is a Yamaha AW1600, btw, if that dictates what
I should be using.

Any ideas or thoughts, gratefully received.

I'm using the same recording deck with ART Tube MP pre's and an AKG
C1000S small condenser mic for guitar. It gives me very decent sound.
The ART pre's can be a little noisy so you can probably do better, but
you need preamps.

Here's a couple of examples I just recorded:

Quality would be even better if I knew what I was doing but overall I'm
pleased.
