I used the Sony C48 and the Microtech Geffel UMT 70S for baseline reference. These large-diaphragm condenser microphones with switchable patterns; Omni, cardioid, hyper-cardioid, and figure 8. The Microtech Geffel sounds similar to a Neumann U87. It is rumoured that they use the same capsule. | I used the Sony C48 and the Microtech Geffel UMT 70S for baseline reference.

I would not recommend these for frequent live applications. Neither is suited for hand-held use. <!-- They are better suited for recording given their relatively fragile nature. However, if you don't mind treating them with care, I would use these for an ensemble where you want to use a single microphone. Here, the switchable pattern (omnidirectional) might do very well. | I would not recommend these for frequent live applications.
