They are great on fiddles and work well on guitar cabs. Too dark for the
vocalists that I tried it with, but for the right instrument, they work very
well and have that nice smooth ribbon kinda' top end.

Do you mean distorted guitar or clean-ish electric (or both)?

Just wondering since I noticed that price point too!

Hi James I purchased one. Great deal. Very nice mic. Very Warm. I purchased
it for my Partner(Singer/Writer) which he requires a C-12 ish warmth.. We
searched and saught advice, and from one of engineering mentors, stated that
Dre needed a Ribbon mic, and suggesdted that we get the NADY.

Best buy in 10 years..We getting a few more for amps and backup..Their are
now $79.00

OK, let me go on record & say that this has to be the first
time I've ever heard a C-12 referred to as a "warm" mic.

The Akg C-12 VR is not warm to you? it's not bright or wide open and the 414..

Well, at least the 2 C12'sVrs (non vintage) are very warm. Man, I love that
mic..

I thought " warm " was usually an indication of a boost in the low mids.does
the C12 have that in its response curve?
I love AKG mics I like the response of the C414 B ULS on male vocals.brings
out a kind of raspiness for lack of a better description.
I wish I had a C12 .have a C414 and a C3000. that's it.
anyway that RSM-4 looks like a great buy for $70.00
at that price you cant go wrong .thanks for the heads up on that Lamont

I've not used the VR, but I've used an original vintage C12
before, and the precursor to the VR, the one they called
simply: "The Tube" - I hear the VR sounds better than "The
Tube", but apart from that, I found both the original C12 and
Da ToOb to be pretty bright mics, the C12 was smoother up top,
though. If you're comparing the VR to a 414-series of any ilk,
then yeah, the 414 might sound less warm simply because you're
looking at a transformerless output vs a tube & x-formers & all
that stuff that gives off the warm & fuzzys... still doesn't
mean they're not just this side of "crispy" on the high end,
though.

I have a pair of the Shiny Box 46's stock and use them all the time---most
of the time they win out over the Royer 121's for electric guitar...
