Hi. I just bought a couple of these but since my studio is down atm I was wondering if any user would care to share with me how they sound ?
Thanks
Thanks

Is it worth it to buy one without testing it, for this price? Supposedly the mic lists for around $250, but that's according to the manufacturer, so I'm sure the selling price is typically lower. But I can't seem to find one sold by itself anywhere. 8thstreet.com has one in a package with an A-51, for $199, including 2 cables. Any input?

I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

tomleblanc said:I'm also not convinced it's overpriced because like I said you can get one in a package along with an A-51, for about $200. Actually, this make's me think $60 for one is a deal! This package is just like the MXL 2001/603s package, with an LD and a SD condenser. But I can't seem to find anyone selling just the SC-1, so I don't know what it typicaly sells for on its own, and I can't find anyone who can comment much on its quality/sound! I hate to buy something blindly when I could spend a little more for an MXL 603s or an Oktava MC-012, which I know are good mics. Anyone else know about the SC-1?????

Slackmaster2K said:Just a quick note to our viewers at home:
Alan Hyatt has a very vested interest in both Studio Projects and Joemeek. Larry Villella is the CEO of ADK microphones.
Please keep this in mind when accepting advice and/or facts from these gentlemen, especially when they make comments in regards to their competition's microphones.
Alan, you need to tread lightly my friend. While I am a "super moderator", I'm going to report this thread to Recording Engineer and Dragon and let them decide whether it qualifies as spam. While in reality you may be stoked full of unbiased opinions, your business status really disqualifies any comments regarding the sonic quality of any specific microphone.

Slackmaster2K said:Now, back to the main topic: does anyone have anything constructive to say about the SC-1, other than the fact that it may or may not be very much like the MXL603s? P.S. I wonder what kind of company Felio is if you can just call them and get construction information about private label products...doesn't seem like very good practice to me.
