If only for a moment.....
A couple of days back, I was doing a delivery to a company that had been in the news alot a few years back for alleged 'naughtiness'. Anyhow, I noticed a couple of mic boxes there and asked the guy there if they were indeed mics. I just wanted to look at them to be honest and see if I'd heard of them. HR has made aware of mics in a way I never was prior to last year.
He said 'yeah, do you want them ?'. So I said OK. He said they'd bought them for when they did press releases. Got home and did some reading up on them, both condensers, one is an AKG C1000S, the other a Rode NT2000. When I looked up the prices I was quite chuffed. Being a cheapskate, I would never have spent that kind of money on mikes. The only "expensive" one I have is an SM58 that I bought a few years back for £70. That's pricey, to me !
Tested them out, they work well. I'm looking forward to trying them on a series of applications.
I was just curious if anyone here had much experience of either mic, what they thought of them etc. Regardless of whether they're generally liked or not, I'm keeping them. I'm OK with the mics I have and it wouldn't have entered my head to buy more so this was a pleasant surprize out of the blue.
