I made some great recordings on those little 424's :D I'd opt for a pre as you can also use this with a mini disc a computer / laptop ch 5-8 on the 424 for two extra mic inputs A used DMP3 on ebay is a decent small, cheap, lightweight dual pre - bit flimsy plastics though so have to be...

Speech and Music or probably Sprach und Musik basically a roll off @ 500Hz for Speech

I second the M58, the frequency response is much better than the 635a and the longer handle means you don't have to shove your hand in an interviewees face. The 635a is in second place too though and a lot cheaper. You can apparently get a 635L which also has a long handle but i havn't seen one.

Just like prom night?

Its quite possible if not probable that the chinese can produce capacitors cheaper than their russian counterparts and that oktava have opted to use these - it is also possible that oktava themselves have outsourced to china. How about some clips of the mics?

Two suggestions, if the capsule is ok (try it on the other body) First and simplest option: Theres no trouble sticking a simple board like that back together just glue the pcb back together then scrape off the solder mask to reveal bare copper on both sides of the crack next solder a piece of...

The term "Class A" has come to imply quality sound because of the legacy of great vintage gear and indeed some modern gear that uses that topology. In reality it says nothing about the sound or quality of a design. "Solid state" merely implies that there are no valves in the circuit. In...

Waco eh? are they sure it was an accident? :0 http://www.serendipity.li/waco.html
