Since someone geekier than myself has requested graphs and charts etc for the mic shootout, here they are. I used Sigview for the spectral analysis, I have no idea if I did it right, nor do I care about the results. I use my ears.
Geek on, click to embiggen.
I don’t know what the crap means.
If it sounds good, it is good.

Wow… This is too geeky even for me
Funny! Jon, good try, but I don’t think you measured them correctly. None go above 6k. And I’m sure they all actually do go above 6k. Regardless, I agree with you – WHO CARES! I listen with my ears too.
“Paper Specs” don’t matter as long as your ears like what you hear.
Yeah!
All that matters is if it sounds good/cool and will work in a mix.
I’m thinking of pairing the PG52 with the ES-57, along with the stereo DI out of the amp.
does the y axis mean anything? it’s no even labeled. 400 what? 400 the colour red? fuck, I don’t know. can I get more the colour red in my monitor?
I dunno Syd, they all sounded a bit red to me.
I should maybe find a different program for this junk. or read the manual, whatev.
There are so many good microphones available these days SE2200A is a good starting place and also an AT4033 is a great mic.(though a little more expensive than the SE2200A)
