In today’s Alvarez TV episode we’re comparing our favorite mics for capturing acoustic guitar. Hear A/B comparisons as Dee shows us some real time demos of dynamic and condenser microphones, including the Shure SM57 and SM7B, Aston Spirit, Neumann KM184, and the Brauner Phantom Classic (Dee’s favorite). Tim discusses his love for Neumann, and Chris shares something he can’t actually share with us yet.
