Alright, so just to update on Karnivore consistency. I micd 10 Karnivore speakers with a single SM57 over the last 2 days. Placement started off in the center of the cone, and then I just tweaked it slightly to where I felt each speaker sounded the best. 9 of the 10 are extremely similar and consistent. Even given that these are across 3 cabs, the differences aren't much to write home about except the 1 speaker. I have 1 that is a big darker and smoother. Not really much else to report on them haha. The 9 that are similar, maybe have some very small variations in tone that you would expect speaker to speaker. Honestly they're more consistent than all the V30s I've micd over the years haha. But I kind of prefer the darker/smoother one for recording if I'm only micing one. But there's no reason for that, they sound best with this one and the one next to it micd, IMO, so I will likely be rolling with that for a while...micing the top 2 Karnivores in my Mesa OS cab.
