Just a bump. I don’t think I have ever been in the same room as a C37. But they keep popping up in videos I have seen Lately. Lanois. The new David Gilmour way in the back. Etc. So other than vocals what do these shine on ? Cheers, Geoff Acoustic guitar, drum room, snare (if you have a drummer you trust), Leslie if you have a pair, they are fantastic microphones. |

Keep an eye out for a Groove Tube MD3, it was Aspen Pittman’s attempt at recreating the C37 (his favorite microphone) and used a Josephson capsule. I had used mine in a bit and used them for vocals this week and it sounded fantastic.

I have used the Mojave, the Groove Tube, the Sony and heard the Tonelux. They all have their own character but are in the ballpark.
I can't believe the money old MD3s are going for.

And, the Mojave is over $5 large Canuck up here. Lots of great mics in that price range and under. So not exactly inexpensive either.
Cheers,
Geoff

And the Tonelux is $3 and change here. Still not inexpensive but considerably less than the Mojave.
Cheers,
Geoff

Yeah I wouldn't pay what some people are asking for MD3s. They were around $2500 new when they came out though. I think I paid $1500 for a pair a couple years back, and if you see one for around $1000 with a power supply, they are still one of the best values around. I believe the Manley Silver Reference is also supposed to be C37 inspired. |

Yes that is true about the Manley. Honestly I would say that in almost every application I would use the C37 a ribbon or a U89 would sound better but that is just my tastes.
