3uaudio.com/Show.asp?id=692Oh boy my wallets already tight, can't wait to hear and snag a pair down the line though. I know theyve been long in the making as I believe Guosheng had some time nailing down bodies for these &/or the GZ's

Transformerless. I wonder if it is based on something or a totally new design.

These are the transformerless KM184 style SDCs. He's also been working on transformer coupled KM84 style SDCs which will be out relatively soon.
I have good reason to believe these will be great mics.

These mics look pretty iconic. I'm holding out for the transformer pair, but here's the pricing list- copied over from the purple site:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The CM100 series SDC mics will be available next month. They have low cut and pad switches. The CM100 is a little warmer than GZ74. The CM100-C is a little more airy than GZ74 cardioid. The CM100-O-Flat has flatter top end than CM100-O. I hope it works well on pipe organ, and grand piano.
Below are SDC mic and selectable capsule (ship with mic together) price with free express shipping arriving in one week in normal conditions.
CM100-C US$179
CM100-H US$189
CM100-O US$189
CM100-O-Flat US$199
Cardioid capsule US$80
Hypercardioid capsule US$90
Omni capsule US$90
Omni-Flat capsule US$100

Love it! Proving affordable gear doesn't have to look cheap, as it so often does...

Yes! Or sound cheap.
I think Guosheng is one of the real underdogs of capsule making for our times.
His style is very no-nonsense, and he seems to be genuinely trying to innovate while standing on the shoulders of giants past.

I've been swamped since getting these guys but here's a little acoustic strumming in cardioid.

Sounds nice, what preamp did you use Ragan?

Someone on the purple site asked for it, so I did a comparison of the CM100 (cardioid) and the Teal CM-1 (another 3U mic I really like on acoustic guitar).

And here's a comparison between the omni and "omni flat" capsules. NOTE: this is not scientific. It's two different takes. No idea why I didn't do the same take with the two mics lined up, one with each capsule. I was in a bit of a hurry (which makes even less sense, because one take would have been quicker) and just used the one mic and changed the capsule between takes.
It can at least give you some idea of what they sound like though.

Sounds nice, what preamp did you use Ragan? I'd like to know too.That double tracked "Night Moves" sounded great. Gibson Hummingbird? Also wondering if it was the C or H version. Great deal on some fine sounding SDC's. Edit: Saw it is a Great River MP-2NV. Any EQ?

The other clips I just posted are my usual Songwriter Deluxe. Edit: No EQ other than HPF around 70 hz with the Harrison 32Cs.
