Dear friends, I would like to buy a matched pair of microphones to make some home recordings with the following instruments: theorbo, archlute, Baroque lute, Renaissance lute, vihuela and Baroque guitar. The mikes would work with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. For the price I would like to pay I have been told that the best options could be a pair of Rode NT5 or Oktava MK-012. I have listen to some guitar sound samples and I find the Rode more brilliant and dynamic, but it cuts a bit the low range frequencies. The Oktava gives a more natural and woody sound, but I find it a bit dark with a strong presence of mid-range frequencies. Does anyone have recording experience with these specific models? Other suggestions are also welcome. Maybe there is a model wich is particularly good at recording early music plucked strings instruments. Thanks in advance. Best wishes, Rafael Munoz
