409 and 509 are exactly the same. I have both. The difference was to whom and where they were marketed, AFAIK. And on a guitar amp, I prefer a 409 to any 414 that costs $500. |

We always used 57s. Many times, Michael would actually tweak the position himself. As for amps, it depends on whether he was using is Bradshaw rack or not. At the time, he had a Bogner preamp in the rack. I can't remember what power amp. He also had a Bogner combo amp, and a rather large collection of vintage Marshall heads. On the Burning Water sessions he used the Marshalls, as well as a Matchless and a Vox. |

I always wondered about that about some sennheiser mics. What are the differences between an MD409/MD509 and for 441/541 or even 421/521. they look the same, and to this point, MD441 and MD541 sound the same to me. was it just that 'blackfire' series that made some mics go from a '4' to a '5' prefix? Or are just the later more recent? |

Bo, have you listened to my soundfiles of the 409 v. both 609s and the 906? BTW, the 509 and the MD409-U3 are the same mic. The Echolette is essentially a MD409-N. |
