I scored myself a pair of original Wahrenbrock PZM Microphones. I have never used or really known of them until recently. I’m amazed there not more of a studio standard. I built a “Wedge” for them over the weekend. You can learn more about that Via – This.
I can’t wait to use them as tracking room mics.
No EQ raw mic output.

After recently acquiring a Red Type B / R8 I wanted to compare it’s sound to the ole faithful 414. I also wanted to compare the mics on different sources, that gives this drummer an excuse to noodle around on instruments I have no business otherwise touching 
. So keep that in mind while listening to these. I find I prefer the RED overall. It’s a brighter mic. The 414 was darker in color with a greater Low end/Low Mid response.
I kept the mic positioning as balanced as possible.
Signal chain = Mic – Hardy M1 – DomII – DAW. Dry recording/No EQ.
