Rode Nt5's vs studio projects c4?

[marchisgonebass]

Looking to get my first pair of SDC. I will mainly be using them to record drum overheads and stereo acoustic guitar, though I will probably end up using them for other things as well.

Anyone tried either or have any opinions of them? Just looking for some input on those or recommendations on other SDC in the $400-450 price range

Oktava Mk 012. Really good sounding mic with interchangeable capsules.

I have checked out the octava's before but wasnt sure they were available in the U.S

I own a pair of the Oktavas and they absolutely kill for anything that's "peaky." Drum overheads and acoustic guitar (one at the bridge, one at the 12th fret) is all the work they see in my studio, and for that they are wonderful.

I bought them second hand from a guy who was closing down his studio, so I can't speak to their availability in the US. If you can find them I think you'll be very happy.
