a.r.t or behri?

[Thechief]

hey guys, i need your opinions here.. which is better and worth the money, behringer mic200 or a.r.t mp project series tube ? which can give me better sound quality? im gonna use it for recording vocals and guitars... thank you!

[KitC]

BAMF brought along his MIC200 while I brought my ART Studio V3 during the last EB jam at Purple Haze. Unfortunately, we weren't able to compare the 2 sonically. All I could say was that the ART weighed heavier than the MIC200. If we had more time, BAMF and I could have opened up the 2 and compared their circuitry.

oh..(and i have another question mr. KitC but i think it'll be more appropriate if i post it in another thread)thankya!

Just chiming in... I'm very happy with my DPS-II.  It's great for DI or miking guitars!
