I know this is probably not relevant for anyone else here or an approach you all would take, but I found it pretty interesting. I may try the same approach with my ADK-Z251 and the Telefunken ELA M 251E clips. Could be wishful thinking or placebo effect, but it almost makes me want to take it off of Reverb for now and try recording with it again. Not that my vocal couldn't still benefit from some eq in the mix, but it gives a much different starting point. But, when I plugged my 2247SE into my vocal chain and patched in the Electra with the settings from the comparison, I dare say it sounded better on my voice than it ever has. I know my Peluso is not a FLEA, nor will it ever be. It goes without saying that there are a lot of variables in play, and this was far from a perfect experiment. I referenced the frequency charts as a general starting point on the Electra.
I was able to alternate between the two mic clips quickly, and eq'd the Peluso clip as close as possible to the FLEA. I engaged/adjusted the Electra when listening to the Peluso clip and bypassed it when listening to the FLEA. I selected the soloed female vocal, picked a section, set to loop, and ran the playback through my interface/headphones with my Electra eq inserted. So I pulled up ATK and populated two slots with those mics. Would that give me a broad-brush idea of what a FLEA may sound like? My thought-process was, what if I could eq the Peluso clip on ATK so it sounded close to the FLEA, and then use those eq settings on my actual mic. I've been interested in the FLEA 47 as one of several mics I'd like to demo. Some of you know I have a Peluso 2247SE that I have struggled to have fit my vocals, and actually have it up for sale.
I tried a very loose but interesting experiment using ATK last night.
