Hi everybody, I just came across this big news, i.e. SE released a new SE2200A II Cardioid only, which is supposed to take the place of the "old" SE2200A. As far as I know, the new black "2200" is only available in the US at the moment, and will be sold elsewhere starting may. Did anybody of you...

I just found this eBay auction: eBay Italia - Aste online e shopping a prezzo fisso It looks like this one could be the right one for you, Mr Baldy. ;)

Here I am! The shockmounts I ordered arrived today. I tried to stick the 420 into one of them, but the result wasn't exceptional: although one can fit the mic by forcing it into the shockmount, the mic's weight makes the mic lean toward a side (thanks to the elastic suspension). To make a long...

I did some recording tonight, have to check them carefully yet, but the sound seems to be good. I ended up using an X-Y setup, spacing the stereo image by panning the two channels apart. If there's something good, I'll share with you guys. ;)

Thank you both, I'll try this way (choir setup before recording) and let you know about the results.

hi everybody, I am planning some recordings with my a capella vocal group (a small choir of 15-18 people). I could face a couple of problems: 1) in a piece there's going to be a solo bass (myself! ;) ) singing before the choir 2) in some pieces the soprano section could be a little weak with...

Now I am wondering if it becomes a matter of how well the soundcard and/or the MacBook can handle so many digital signals. ;)

Thank you very much. ;)

Hi everybody, the following question arose after reading some posts here. I have a RME Fireface 400, I mostly use the embedded pres of. I see there are two line inputs on the front I have happened to use with an external pre (DAV BG-1). I would like to know how many pres I can plug simultaneouly...

So you would go for the ADAT? Thank you.

Do you know the RME pres? Do you consider them clean and neutral (I happen to record only ancient music, so I think I'd better aim at this kind of non-colored sound)? Somebody makes me think that 100 euros per channel (here in Italy the Quadmic goes for about 400 euros) isn't that much if you...

Thank you Michael, I had already read those pages, nevertheless I went back to them and had some more reading. ;) I was only wondering what actual differences are to be noticed between 101 and 104 (which appears to be way more expensive). Thanks.

I found a post dated some time ago about this subject, nevertheless I was wondering if somebody had more recent experiences about. ;)

I myself add a point. Do you know the MK-104 capsule as well? Can you tell me what differences are to be found between MK-104 and MK-101, sound-wise? Thank you.

Hi everybody, do you have experience with the Oktava MK-101? If I got it right, it should be a MK-012 "pencil" body with a LDC head on top of it. Is it correct? Do you thinkg that having a pair of MK-012 SDC mics, adding the 101 capsules could be an interesting choice? Thank in advance.
