User EMG 60 and 81.85 over the past fifteen years on BC RICH (Bich, Ironbird, Beast), Gibson (Les Paul, FlyingV) on Marshall JCM900, I do not understand the fury of some people to find them disadvantages ... The sound is quite different depending on the model of guitar (especially on BC Rich), but the accuracy is impressive in all cases. When using this type of micro, especially 81, is in black and white in the manual is recommended for the metal, so the output level phenomenal!
Their design allows you to limit the noise, not remove them.
The breath can be heard can only come from either a too small distance between the guitar and amp, or excessive use of effects (including preamp). In both cases, use a noise gate, with the disadvantages that it has too.
I think if there are users frustrated, they find the same pattern as their guitar and they try it with other microphones. At that time they can really judge.
In conclusion, if not the profit margin may be some European retailers on these microphones (see prices in dollars on the site http://www.emginc.com/downloads/EMGPriceList.pdf EMG), I ' have nothing to blame them.
