"When recording acoustic guitars and percussion instruments every string, every skin has its own resonance. Recording with open air mics sometimes loses that resonance and tonality of the instrument and affects the song's journey into creation as a whole. We don't have those problems with Telefunken mics."
Michael Glabicki, Rusted Root
