Reason I posted pronounciation link is because I work from time to time with Germans and still will not attempt to spell their way of saying things. Bearing becomes something like beering. I'll never condem their English because when Churchill said something to the likes of "Two nations...

Another mic reference source Both DPA and Neumann are usually over a beginners budget but both have excelent references. Neuman on their infopool/general info/documents page has a download for the book try this link for direct access but go to their site for a lot more references...

want to hear it said try their mike sound samples on their web site.

I've been looking at the C414 for some time as a new color etc for my locker. I do not want to buy used if possible but the new 414 seems to have an electronic switch for preferences (pattern, rolloff, and pad). This makes me leary because nowhere can I find how the mike defaults at powerup...

Can you use an Omni?? I know in many applications an omni wouldn't work but Harvey put me on the Behringer ECM8000 probably moneywise the lowest of the bottom feeder mikes. Don't laugh at the price or the brand though they are a good mic for almost any price. I put a pair up on Harveys...

Thanks for that link. I've not had anyone nearby to show me the way those should be placed and the pics in it really cleared up the placement for me. I've been reading the descriptions in lots of places but was wrong here. Soon as my acoustic player gets in from college I'm going to try it.

I loaned my Neuman KMS 105 to my son so he could try it on their metal band's sound system. He couldn't even get it to work at all with that system's 18v phantom. I didn't know they only had 18v on phantom or I would have sent a phantom supply adapter. (I keep one available because my spare...

Gefell M300 I just got a pair of M300 Gefells. So far the jury is out on them but I have gotten a decent acoustic guitar sound using them, the only test I've run so far. As far a comparison to Neumann, I have no experience with the KM 84 or the KM184 but I've been told they sound in between...

Alesis the maker of the ADAT recorder has an interface using fiber optic signal that transfers 8 channels of audio plus some sync info. Many other pieces of equipment have gone to this interface and its become one of the more or less standard digital multitrack standards. I have used it here...

So far my new Gefell M300 looks promising. The jury is still out though.

From the looks of the pics I've seen that's not a radio mic. It appears to be for a recorder or dictation machine. I've been around radio gear for a number of years, both commercial and ham, and do not ever recall seeing 1. radio mic without some sort of switch 2. the connector shown on cable...

Be carefull about your comments reguarding boot sale. The British have many different words than us ie valve for tube. Wouldn't doubt its our version of garage sale or the like. You know we say give it the boot. I once bought a British electronics book and it really came with a glossery of...

Both the 57 and 81 are probably keepers. After all where is there a locker without a 57?? The 81 is also real common but you might try it on other aps and find out its real versital also. I'm not saying dont use it on guitar just that it would be a real keeper also. A thought that could also...

Re KMS KMS 105 and its other brothers are getting quite common. Diana Krall, Norah Jones, Standing in the Shadows of Motown, one of the Divas Las Vegas shows (wireless version there). The Divas show was all except the Dixie Bs they have a Shure Market thing. Speaking of which thats getting...

Shure Mics Find a shop that has Shure mics and demo them. The old standard SM58 now has a little brother in the PG58, likewise the SM57 and PG57. Try to see if you can tell the difference. Their PG series covers most all of their standard mics. Have a look at...
