C-2 Stereoset : Outstanding for the price

So I teach in a school, and we have a variety of mics in the recording studio. Being that these mics were relatively budget-friendly, they stayed on the shelf as more expensive mics were available. I noticed one of our students was always using them and raving about them, so rather than just dismiss it we set up a blind test of several mics on acoustic guitar, including large diaphragm condensers and an M201 which costs nearly ten times as much per mic.

You honestly wouldn't believe that the C2 stood up against an M201 on acoustic guitar. I know, I wouldn't have believed it either. But having looked at this with the student, I ordered about three more pairs to put into stock elsewhere.
