"...a pair of very refined mics with a spec to match, and we’d be more than happy to use these in a professional setting."
If you want to record in stereo you can either use a stereo mic or a matched pair of individual mics. It’s the latter configuration we have up for review in the form of the CC8 Stereo Set from Austrian Audio.
"The Stereo Set includes two small capsule cardioid condenser mics, two clips, two windshields and a stereo bar, all bundled together in a compact flight case. It’s basically twice the price of the individual mic, but with the added bonus of the case and stereo bar."
"Combined with the weighty metal body and fine grille that protects the capsule slots, the design definitely feels ready for professional everyday use. The mic incorporates transformerless electronics, and the healthy 15mV/Pa output is matched with 16dBA self-noise, which is very respectable for a small capsule condenser."
"Another great Austrian Audio package that gives you a marked uplift on budget options, but still without the need to sell a kidney."
