![]() ![]() ![]() He was exteemly friendly, patient, and above all knowledgeable. He is a great guy and was great to deal with. I'd also like to further the sentiment about Dave Pearlman. No matter what I've thrown at it, it just plain sounds great. I bought it for vocals, but I've been using it as room mic on drums for a project I'm doing, and it sounds great in that application as well. now i just need a great pre and look out Mickie Most! cheers-JP Dusty Wakeman owner of Mad Dog in Burbank sells the Mojave's and love's 'em! i haven't been disapointed w/ hand made Pearlman. an old school studio owner/engineer in LA who i really like a lot told me if i could buy one get the Pearlman. I have tracked w/ both the Mojave and the Pearlman (based on 47) and both are sweet ,musical ,versatile mics(never heard that Mojave's are point to point soldered and made in US.)I own a Pearlman and use it for singing (male,jaded deadbeat) tracking acoustic, upright bass and i usually roll off lows w/ oxford eq especially since i mainly use J-200 for guitar but i've gotten some great results w/ pearlman. I think the MA-200 is also point-to-point wired inside, at least it looks that way to my ignorant eyes." end quote- SRY! I couldn't figure out how to just quote that paragraph lol. All that said I imagine the Pearlman is worth the extra dough. The MA-200 brings whatever it sees to the forefront of a mix, it's like an acoustic spotlight. For acoustic and vocals, you'll often end up just rolling off those lows in a mix anyway. "I suspect the Pearlman is aimed more at the U47 which, while having plenty of top to it, also has extended bass response. Acoustic guitar, male and female vocals through a neutral pre. The Pearlman is something I'm interested in and I would love it if someone would post a shootout between these two mics and the Peluso 2247 and 251, the CharterOak SA538 (I may be odd in not preferring the B version of those when I heard them) and the less expensive Tele USA R-F-T mics. The MA-200 was designed by Dave Royer so it is certainly the product of great experience. ![]() I'm happy with the MA-200 and think it's a great value. I think the MA-200 is also point-to-point wired inside, at least it looks that way to my ignorant eyes. I suspect the Pearlman is aimed more at the U47 which, while having plenty of top to it, also has extended bass response. (This review covers my unit only, there may be unit variation.) It's also nice and crisp for acoustic guitars and pianos. All this is good because the brightness allows you to use a pop screen without losing much, and you can get up close (minimizing room noise) without getting muddy. It's warm but it doesn't have that much in the way of bottom.the low end is there, but it's not pronounced, and the proximity effect is fairly minimal. It's very bright with outstanding fast transient response for a tube mic, however, it's not sibiliant or screechy, just airy and open. The MA-200 is considered to be close to a U67, and is therefore a very versatile microphone. I have the MA-200 and haven't heard the Pearlman other than online. ![]()
