That makes sense. I looked at EV's website among other places and couldn't fig it out. At least now I'm not leery of EV's B mics, and like I said I love the sound. (The oversized flattop grille is sweet too)

Thanks for the info. So EV "A" and "B" aren't for matching pairs, so what does it mean? I used a friend's beat up 257b and it blew the doors off my sm57 for vocals, so that's why I picked it up. I find it transparent on vocals and very smooth on acoustic at the 14th fret. I still prefer my re-15 tho...

I just picked up an EV 257B, NOS in the box off ebay. I can't find out what the A vs. B designate. Is it just so you can buy two A(s) or B(s) and have a matched pair?? Are A(s) closer to spec? Thanks folks
