Where is the kick drum on the reskinned version? I had a vintage C12 reskinned without my knowledge during a service and it ruined it, and that was by the top German capsule maker. I only use original brass AKG or Beesneez now.
Guess I’m the outlier here but I prefer the reskinned one. Feels to me as though the low mids are a bit more full and it feels less like I’m hearing a recording and more like I’m in the room with the player
Prefer the original on drums. Slightly brighter, but not harsh. The reskinned also peaks out on the drums, kinda ugly. Both sound good on the acoustic, but the reskinned has a bit too much subby stuff that would get rolled off anyway.
To me, the reskin sounded like it’s more sensitive at the extreme high and low ends and kind of soft and scooped in the middle with an overall darker tone. I don’t think either mic is better or worse, just better suited to different circumstances.
I know this is all about the mics but that acoustic sounded just absolutely brilliant. @colepicksvintage is that an original song? Can I listen to it somewhere?
The kind of mic you’d make a record with, they both sound great!
If a mic needs maintenance I say do it, I never regret a good repair.
Reskinned sounded more mellow on the acoustic? Totally opposite of what I would’ve expected
There you have the best allround microphones to this day. Sounds natural and amazing!

Think That I prefer the reskin on drums but definitely the original on acoustic guitar.
I'm surprised that the original sounded better
Original best. amazing in acoustic guitar! Original left o right position? thanks
Both sound great
Surprised people think original sounds better. To me the re-skin sounds like the detail / 3D is back and sounding like it should again, IMO.
Do you know who reskinned the capsule?
Yes! It was PTW Audio here in Nashville.
orig a lot better.. sweeter extended highs are what i mostly noticed..
re-skinned sounded like it had a blanket over it.

the OG def had a better all around tone imo...

Thank you! I don’t have any tracks out there, and kind of just come up with these bits for the videos. Glad you’re enjoying them!
The reskinned capsule is clearly brighter, but you could put these up over a drum kit and match them with EQ with no problem, in my opinion.
