    FREE to LA: Bust Altec 633a

    Years ago, someone gave me an Altec 633a microphone. Today, I dug it out of the garage, tested it - no signal. Its going in the trash unless someone wants to come pick it up this week! It is in decent shape, with some nicks in the paint. I'm in Redondo Beach, CA. Have a nice day! :D

    FS: Shinybox Ribbon Mics w/ New Motors, Special TXs

    I bought these from Jon when he first started selling them. I don't use ribbons anymore, so I'd like to pass these on. Jon did a complete rebuild of motors in these about 3 months ago, including new, stronger magnets. I also put some pretty exotic transformers inside (used in other 'modern'...

    FS: Early Mojave Audio LDC pair

    I don't think these mics need a lot of introduction - these are Dave Royer's early LDC mics for Mojave Audio, originally a kit using modified MXL2001s, which was replaced by the MA-200. They sound very nice indeed, but unfortunately I don't use LDCs anymore. I have two of these, they are about...

    panasonic wm6a omni -> cardioid?

    Hmmm, that M50 is pretty interesting - and interesting looking. That must mean that when I do binaural recordings, with the capsules right at my ears, there must be some HF directionality added. Hmmm...

    panasonic wm6a omni -> cardioid?

    Thanks for the recommendations - I've seen those TSB capsules, but never tried them. Looks like its time. I have a number of other mic's (diy LDC, SDC and ribbons), but the wm61a has so much to offer - very flat response, high SPL handling, decently low noise, is tiny, and cheap. Omni is...

    panasonic wm6a omni -> cardioid?

    I've been using home-brewed mics based on the panasonic wm61a capsule, and am looking to increase its many uses (look at linkwitzlab.com for a great example, scroll down to 'microphone'). The capsul is omni - I'd like to make a cardioid version. There seems to be two possibilities - perforate...

    Review: Phonic Firefly 302

    I didn't see much mention of this firewire interface on this board, so I thought I would post my impressions after having one a few months. I bought the Firefly 302 because it is currently the cheapest 2 channel firewire interface that has spdif i/o. Its small, and can be powered off a...

    $1,000 mics?

    Howdy, I might suggesting checking out the new mojave audio tube mic. I havnt used it, but I met the guys and made a couple of thier tube kits - they are amazing. the clearest and most detailed mic I've used, and had a nice even frequency response. I'd guess the new, non-kit mic, going for...

    Best Ribbon Mic for Female Vocals

    Ive gotten my hands on an RCA 77 by renting, and was very pleased with it. very smooth. we were using it ~6" for lead female vocals. I would guess royer mics would be very good too. Ive met a couple of those guys and they are pretty dedicated to what they do. -Patrick
