AKG D190E vs Shure Unidyne B 515SD Mexico both mics with or without the Pleiades (130Ω,40mH) filter

Both mics sung to at about 4in.


The D190 sounds like barking midrange without the Pleiades gentle slope high pass filter. Possibly due to proximity effect boosting mid bass and mid.


The 515SD sounds more bright, less mid heavy than the D190.


With the Pleiades filter the AKG D190 sound amazing, with very clear midrange and nice bass and treble, smooth sound.


With the Pleiades filter the Shure 515Sd sounds very nice, natural sound too but more treble.
