Ultimate Acoustic Guitar Mic Shootout

Hey Everyone,

I run a studio in New South Wales Australia - Spinlight Studio
Over the years I have collected some quality mics and thought perhaps it's time I made a few videos that might help others to compare the tones and colours that these mics have to offer.

This video features:

Intro: (0:00)
Lauten FC-378 F mode: (1:26)
Lauten FC-378 N mode: (1:58)
Lauten FC-378 G mode: (2:32)
AKG C414 XLS: (3:04)
AT4047sv: (3:36)
Neumann TLM 103: (4:08)
Telefunken TF51: (4:39)
Warm Audio WA251: (5:12)
Golden Age Project FC3: (5:46)
AKG C451b: (6:18)
Neumann KM184: (6:50)
Peluso CEMC6: (7:23)
Shure SM57: (7:55)
Beyerdynamic TG201: (8:27)
Telefunken M80: (9:00)
Sennheiser MD421: (9:31)
Shure SM7b: (10:03)
Sennheiser E906: (10:34)
AEA R88: (11:06)
Outro Thoughts: (11:38)

I roughly kept the mics about a foot away from the 12th fret of the guitar.
Preamp was a Great River MP-500nv through line inputs on a Focusrite Clarett 8preX

No processing applied whatsoever - completely raw.
Preamp Gain was set to 35db and I just level matched everything as well as I could after it was tracked.

Drop a comment below and let me know which mic you liked the best!
