Do you mean Bruel&Kjaer? I had no idea they were used in studios. In the research lab for noise and vibration control I worked in they were pretty much the standard (both instruments and transducers), there's not much that beats them. I'm glad to see they're used elsewhere as well.A funny story. One of their sales reps told me about a trip he made to SE Asia. He was sitting with the prospect in a bar when the prospect said that B&K were real fine microphones, but that it was so humid in his part of the world that he was afraid they wouldn't work too well there. The B&K sales rep took out a mic from his bag, asked the bartender for a glass of carbonated mineral water and proceeded to drop the mic into it. After 30 minutes he took it out, plugged it in and it worked just perfectly.
On the other hand, we probably broke a microphone a month in that lab. It seemed like just tapping it lightly would break it. So I guess they wouldn't be too happy on a stage.
