Re: [Harp-L] Shure Controlled Magnetic element

[Tim Dougherty <timd@xxxxxxx>]

Crystals tend to be cleaner and less bassy than CM elements, so it depends 
on what type of sound you're after.  They also withstand more abuse.  But 
any element can be weak.  In your case, the 99c86 is a low-impedance 
element, which would account for the difference in power.  Combine this 
element with a $15 impedance-matching transformer and it will take the top 
of your head off.

Good luck,
Tim
