Yup. Crappy laptop speakers.

no crappier than these here.

i thought 1 sounded like it had a bit more distortion. i took it as a sign of more gain.

anyway, we need photos.
lucky fucker.

oh, and do tell about using the flashlight for positioning the mics.

that's a new one on me.

If the positioning wasn't the same, and you were closer than a couple feet from the guitar, the test is kind of goofy, but what the hell.

I would call this test Mickey mouse. But certainly not Goofy. I'm offended sir!

I have a surefire flashlight. It's very bright like 60 lumens or something and has a narrow beam. I use it to see thru the popfilters, mesh screens and speaker coverings so I can determine exactly where capsules and speaker cones are. I also sometimes use it like a laser sight and line it up with the capsule so I can tell exactly where the mics pointing.

And sometimes I use it to temporarily blind the interns and steal their money. What'r they gonna do?

Not all that high tech.

Also it's pretty dark in here.

bump for the results.

not that I will be buying either of these anytime soon.

just curios.

1 is the Lomo

2 is the U47

overall about even

I do this too, actually. How funny.

Well, not that part about blinding the interns.

I just push them down and take their money.
