Posted: Sat Apr 14, 2012 1:10 pmJust two cheap Chinese condensers. Just one's a bit cheaper than the other. Seriously though, the diaphragm looks totally different and the electronics are totally different. For a mic at that price point(AKG) I don't really care if they cheap out on the casing and head basket. Not that I would buy one.
