You have to buy the optional $500 Peltier cooling attachment.

I think Churchill once said something like, "This is the kind of foolishness up with which I will not put!" after one of his editors criticized his placement of a preposition at the end of a sentence. Don

Sorry, DEWD, but I have to agree with Bruce. My experience of MIXING with headphones has always been disappointing, even though I listen to music with cans all the time. I can tell that I've been misled by them as soon as I hear the mixes with speakers. Maybe some people can mix with headphones...

CanopuS, that actually sounds pretty good IMO. I think with a little EQ or experimentation with mic placement you might be able to get some improvement, but it's really not bad as is. I've never used a TL, but I have an ADK TC that I love. ADK makes good mics and has fantastic customer service...

Just as an update, I finally received a replacement for the M179 I bought from 8thstreet that was DOA. This one seems to work! Don

Duh! Yes, I tried it on two preamps and a mixer, all with phantom power turned on, just after verifying that another condenser mic worked fine.

I think this is an illustration of "bipolar disorder". Speaking of crazy, my M179 arrived DOA today. I'm not sure what 8th street will do about it. Don

I just got a message that my order was canceled. Apparently they were sold out even before I posted, but their e-store didn't reflect that. Don

No, but I ordered one from them anyway. At that price, the risk isn't too great.Trying to get 8th St. to price match is not a bad idea, however. Don

Even cheaper at Boyntonproaudio.com, and free ground shipping!

I've used an ADK TC and an ADK Vienna on 'cello. Very nice results! I'd suggest a pair of the ADK Vienna or Hamburg models. In general, choosing LDCs or SDCs might depend on whether you want a flattering, thick rich tone (the ADK's would give you that) or a more accurate sound. Of course...

I haven't used either Mackies or Dynaudio, but I'm a little curious about why you use the Dynaudios if you find that the Mackies translate better to the average sound system. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding you? Don

Well said!! Don

That's what I assumed at first, too. But from the schematic (downloadable from the Rane web site), it seems that the DMS 22 uses the 2017 instrument amplifier, not the INA163. So they don't appear to be identical. Don

Oh well. You can console yourself with the fact that you saved a few bucks you can put towards something better. I got my Spirit mixer for something like $170 on eBay. Not much more than I spent for the Mixim 10, but so much better value. Don
