I wanted to replace my mid-grade drum overhead mics to these:
But I got this instead:
First off I, got mine brand new for $954 with tax and shipping on reverb.com.
Why would I get one mic in place of two? Well on deep dive the Sphere can actually operate as a stereo mic when positioned directly between the front and back capsule.
And, the software emulates the Coles, so I 'get' the Coles sound for less than a third of the price. And I get to sell my two Sennheiser condenser mics for a little mo9re cash back.
