    It was great to hear the different positions between the guitar and the microphone. Directly on the soundhole seemed a bit boxy to me. If you can apply any dynamic EQ, I think it would sound fantastic – I think somewhere around 250Hz-300Hz would be nice, taking off about 3-5dB. I think that the TLM102 just between the soundhole and neck, combined with either a DI (delayed accordingly…say around 1ms or so) or a lavalier style mic clipped just under the soundhole would be a beautiful combo for your guitar.

    I enjoyed that position the most, and with a brighter guitar, I think it would lend itself to a nicely balanced tone on the actual recording. Have you tried any Carvin nylon-string acoustics yet? I have been presently surprised each time I’ve heard them. They won’t break the bank, either.

    Could you possibly do a take using a song that includes some percussive use of the guitar body? Maybe setting the mic slightly off-axis from the soundhole would keep the boominess away. It seemed a bit beamy in the lower midrange.

    Thanks for the clips – I always love being able to have actual clips to compare various mics…add it to the arsenal! 🙂

    This is going to be such a popular mic for project studios! I just tested it on Voice Over today and it sounded very sweet. The integrated pop-filter/windscreen also does a good job on its own so it’s super-easy to set up. Can’t wait to put this near a snare. Just don’t tell my Sennheiser rep!

    Wolf,

    I added some new clips to the folder yesterday. New strings on the acoustic, VO and electric guitar.
