What do you folks think of this one and how do you like using it most? :)

Hello everybody, I was in Banjo Center just yesterday and I saw that they are stocking the Berringer ECM8000 omnidirectional mics. Are these the same mics that everyone says sound pretty good for overheads, acoustic guitar and so on? This said it was a "reference microphone." Actually, tro be...

Hello everyone, I just inherited a pair of old (circa 1974 I think) AKG D 224Es from a friend of mine who works at NASA. I plugged them in and they sound rather unique...something about these particular mics having two separate diaphragms for low and high end. I don't know much about them at...

Hi everybody, It's been a while since I have last posted here. My new business is now off the ground so that is why I've been away. Quick question for you all? Which Shure KSM model you do all like for general purposes and how do you think the two models (KSM32/KSM44) differ in sound...

Hello everyone, Just curious as to anyone's opinion of the MD441U and what its best applications are? I have got one coming in right now and I can't wait to check it out with my also newly acquired analog Otari machine.

Hello everyone, I was over at a friend's studio earlier tonight and he said "Hey, I've got a present for you!" He then handed me a black zipper bag which contained an Oktava MK219 condensor microphone! I heard it briefly with my speaking voice and it didn;t sound too horrible. Anyone have te...

Hello everyone, I have an Equitek E-350 that I need to sell. Quite frankly, I have enough microphones and want to trim the herd. The mic I am selling is a very early E-350 in excellent condition that comes with the original box and the plastic microphone case and special string shock mount...

A very simple inquiry guys. Say you've got a Roland VS workstation and a four-track analog deck and are looking for a really decent sounding mic preamp? You've got killer mics, guitars amps and all the other tools of the trade (except a nice mic pre). Am I being reasonable to assume that the...

Hey everyone, Just scored an older Audio-Technica AT813 from a friend to try out. What if any differences are there between the new AT813A mic and the older version of this model I have? This 813 has a battery compartment and an on-off switch too. Who knows it might sound good for mic'ing...

I just found this old crusty Shure SM-57 that was actually in the process of severe corrosion from humidity. The foam pad piece underneath the missing windscreen was turned to dust when I poked around in the top capsule. Apparently, the element is still okay-- expoxyed in as it was originally...

Hey everyone, I am wondering what everyone likes to use as a bass guitar microphone mainly for recording/live & what two mics would you all use for spot recording rehearsals using only two mics--one on either side of the stage? Thanks! FYI I am playing a Fender Precision through an Ashly FET...

Hey everyone, What the heck is a Mercury 911 microphone & who made it--RCA or EV? Thanks for any help in advance!:)

The drummer we have in our band plays REALLY loud. So, I am trying to figure out the best way to mic his kit when we record in a few weeks? I was thinking maybe a couple of OHs and a kick mic a la John Bonham. Maybe have a distant LD condenser way out front. I am try to keep the cymbals from...

Hi everyone, I have a brand new Audio-Technica CP 8506 Phantom Power Supply box up for grabs. This unit will power up to four condenser microphones & works very well. I am asking $120 O/BO. This CP8506 unit comes with its original warranty card and is in mint condition. If interested, please...

Hi, I have two brand new mint condition SM-57s for sale that come with their warranty cards and accessories; clip and vinyl bag. I also have a CAD90Ni dynamic for sale also. I'll take $110 for the pair of SM-57s and $85 for the CAD90ni. The CAD90NI is also brand new and in mint condition. If...

I would like to ask anyone who's an advanced VS-840EX user whether it's possible to record my electric guitar tracks through/via the "EXT IN" mode? Basically, if I can, I want to bypass the Roland's main circuitry so I don't get all of that compressed audio on my tracks? Has anyone figured out a...

Does anyone here have any ideas as to which mic preamp sounds good overiding the internal preamps of the Roland VS series workstations? Might it be possible that the M-Audio DMP-3 mic pre would be the answer/solution I'm looking for--getting better sounding tracks from this particular series of...

I recently mentioned to a few forum members here [like Bruce at Blue Bear for one] that I was expecting to get some of AKG's newly reissued C 451Bs in for evaluation/review. Well, they're finally here and right off the bat I've found these to have all the "airy" qualities of the original C 451s...

Was wondering whether anyone has tried the new AKG Emotion Series C 900 condenser microphone on either acoustic instruments or for guitar cabinet mic'ing? Lastly, how does it sound for vocals? Thanks a lot folks.:)

Just wanted to to get everyone's two cents on this particular subject since we're all after the best electric guitar tones we can muster to tape [or digital]? Please state your own reasons WHY you use the particular microphone you've chosen for this purpose and maybe what mic preamp [or related...
