I am looking for any experiences other MC12 owners might have in using different mic's than the ones Lexicon sales for auto calibration. I simply cannot justify their amazingly high cost, and my local dealer(s) do not have a set I can borrow/rent *So am thinking about buying a decent set of mic's with appropriate connectors. Anyone else tried this?

I also have an MC12 Ver 3 - by the way great pre/pro huh! Mine replaced an EAD Theater Master Signature 8 and I couldnt be happier.The mics used are AKG C-98's. I emailed AKG and they said that the mics are specially made for Lexicon.
Seems possible that another mic would work but not sure. Why not post your question on the SMR Lexicon Audio forum.
They charge almost $1,000 for these mics. How special can they be? Are they made out of gold or something?My local dealer doesn't have a set to lend me for stetup. I asked Lex customer service if I could use other mics. Of course, they told me that wouldn't work. So I asked them if I can borrow, or rent a set from them. Nope, Lex doesn't rent them out either.
It seems pretty lame that we'd have to spend almost $1,000 for mics which we'll only use to set up the system. Considering the processor lists for $10,000 (more, now that they've decided to charge $2-$3,000 for the v4 software), it's bad they don't include the mics.
