- Comparison of a Vintage Shure SM57 Unidyn III, AKG D1000E, and modern Sennheiser e609 microphone. Using a 1960 Fender Harvard tweed amplifier, 2020 Fender "American Original 70's" Telecaster Custom (with CuNiFe Wide Range Humbucker pickup), and a Vintage 1966 Fender Electric XII....into an Antelope Audio Discreet 4 Synergy Core preamp. No effects, no compression, no EQ. Setting on Harvard was 3.7 on the volume, tone full up. Microphone elements are equidistant from the center of the speaker dust cap (center point).
Wow. I am also surprised by the D1000e. I bought one in the '70s and never found its sweet spot as a vocal mic. Never thought to mic a cabinet with it. For that purpose, it seems to be the best of the three you used - more colorful than the 57, crisper than the 609 - more musical in general. I'm glad I still have it. Thank you for going to the trouble to set this up and post it.
Yes, I was surprised too! Too bad I didn't realize 30 years ago when I used to record a lot. I think the "sintered" metal grill threw me off. But agree better response than the 609 without the sharp edge of the 57 (that works well for overdrive lead).
D1000E hands down!
Wow, the AKG sound is pretty nice! I would even (narrowly) prefer it to the SM75. Thanks for the comparison!
Farr that was great, easy to pick up the differences, AKG D1000E are a 1/3 the price of most SM57's 2nd hand WOW.
Akg D1000e wow
D1000e for rhythm, 57 for leads, I"d like to hear the D1000e in M position vs 57 since that looks like that would put them closer tonally according to the frequency graphs
I agree with you on 57 for lead, and D1000e for 12 string/rhythm. Maybe I will do the M vs B mode on the D1000E in the near future.
I prefer the sound of the AKG. However, I expect the guitar recorded with the SM57 May sit better in a mix
akg is monster
AKG good choice best use the seinh 906
