Microphone test PT 2. - Røde NT5 vs Schoeps CMC 6. Cheap vs expensive

This will be interesting! I compare two popular pencil condenser microphones with very different price tags when the Røde NT5 meets the Schoeps CMC 6. Cheap meets expensive. Can you hear the difference? Always searching for the perfect fiddle mic. Is one of these two it? The fiddle/violin sound can be hard to capture properly in the studio. There are so many frequencies going on, and many times the recorded sound can be harsh, trebly and/or not true to the original sound. There is a lot you can do with EQ, but nothing beats a proper mic that gives justice to the instrument. A smooth top end is usually preferred when recording fiddles. I´m not voting for a winner here. They both sound good in my opinion, but with quite different characters. What do you think? No EQ is used.
