Has anyone compared the two or know of any literature that can provide some detail.....I am planning on buying a new mic and would appreciate any assistance on the topic.....


Thank you in advance....

Ive used both (x3 on decca tree)on some orchestral stuff and found the 149s to be far superior. Fantastic fatness for strings!

The old 49 was no where near as open, and much noisier than the new ones.

Really depends on what you're recording though....
