John:
We recently bought a pair of AT 4041 mikes with cables from 8thstreet.com
for $399. That makes them about twice the price that you would like to
pay. On the other hand, quality does not come cheaply. We have used
the mikes in conjunction with a digital preamp and are completely satisfied
with the sound. Have used the mikes to record genuine 32 foot pedal
as well as other ranks up to 1 foot on a 66 rank pipe organ with outstanding
quality. In addition to the wide frequency response, they handle transients
very well -- such as glock chimes, etc.
Sincerely,
Jack Cormack
