Not out yet but could come in handy if
it's got some bass pickup and is not
too harsh. Nice that it doesn't require
phantom and is supposed to be quiet.
Not many other battery-powered
cardioids around, when you think about
it. And it's black -- about time they
get away from the silver...
I've got some MP3s I'm working with that
need to be either shortened or stretched a
bit in order to sync exactly with the
master guide track.
Would I be better off converting the
MP3s to WAV prior to shortening
their length? Or doesn't it really
help any? I'd rather just leave them
as MP3s...
I'm talking about the cardioid curve here
(the red line, under "Technical Specificatons"):

Makes me wonder what effect this would have
on the recording?
Wondering what your thoughts are?
Seen some great reviews over at
Newegg.

Also saw a great review at 3dsoundsurge,
saying how flat it is, similar to Genelec.
In the past I've used compression to
keep the peaks out of the red but lately
I've tried cutting back on the compression
such as has been recommended by
engineers such as Bruce Swedien.
Overall, the sound is much better than
with the compression but I'm getting
peaking into the red (i.e...

Mic might even be out ... or maybe next month.
The info says it uses the same transformer
as the NT5. I wonder if that means
the same capsules, too? Wonder
if it sounds just like an NT5?
Someone here should be the first
to get it and...
Currently using Sony/Sonic Foundry
compressor and every time I even apply
it lightly (like 1.5:1) it takes the life out of the
music recordings and makes vocals
muddy. It's not real obvious but
if you listen close you can hear it.
Anyways, anyone using anything
they're real happy with...
Just wanted to pass along a little trick that
helped on a recent mix.
I was having troulbe getting the mix
how I wanted so I took a break from it.
I went to a forum and did a little reading
and I read a post from another mixer who was talking
about having a client who was blind, and he said...
Just wondering when these might be available?
And will the specs (e.g. noise, sensitivity) be the same as the phantom units?
If running a pair of these, could I do it with one
9V battery box? Or would I need two battery
boxes?
Comes with two heads (omni and cardioid) and
has three pads (0, -10, -20) and three
roll-offs (-75, -150, and flat).
Also looking forward to seeing the specs.
Should be out in a month or so in US:
