two Anthems installed on two nylon string guitars ~ noticeable mid range difference

[AlVal]

Hi
firstly no actual complaints with the pick ups....after many years they are a dream come true
I have two similar Nylon string guitars with the pickups installed
one is cedar with a classical set up
the other is Spruce as a flamenco set up
Both same brand...Martinez/Katoh both part of their professional series

its not that I want these guitars to sound the same and gain wise they are well balanced for an A/B setup
however the flamenco has a noticeable jump in midrange tones/gain...really 'hot' ( for want of a better term ).. while the classical seems to have quite a scoop...or a normal tonal range from previous experience
The flamenco also seems to lack low end frequencies...more pronounced low midrange...
both have a similar amount of the mic blended in

I use a Venue DI set up with Align session and reverb

guess my question[s} is/are
is this noticeable spike in midrange frequencies due to
1 The Guitarsthemselves...not noticeable acoustically
2 installation...meaning the mic component is in a different spot in relation to the under saddle
3 would moving the mic alter midrange frequencies


thanks in advance


best
Al

Hey Al,
That is an interesting question.

There are several factors here and I think that any one of them could easily explain the difference in tone that you're hearing.

First off, do you have the full Anthem or Anthem SL-C installed? And, are you sure you have the same version in both guitars?

Mic placement would also play a big role in the mid-range response of the system. If the bracing is different between the two guitars, it could affect how the mic can be positioned. If the mic is placed differently in each guitar, that might be a big contributor. Changing the mic placement may be all you need to do, although it can be hard to predict which placement will sound best.
