"None of the other companies really have anyone who knows about music and sound, they test by numbers! In addition to the written specification, we conduct a listening test on every mic we build."

Wow. Only SE Electronics...
even after everything Uli Behringer's done, this still makes me angry:

seen them someplace before???
it's not like they were that amazing as to be worth copying! damn.
I pointed someone there yesterday and he rung me to say it wasn't there. I just went on myself and it's not happening. Does Graham or anyone else know the score?
So I had £30 left over after rent this month and after a couple of sets of guitar strings that left me £20 to get rid of. Just out of curiosity, as much as anything else, I bought some Sennheiser HD202s. Anyway, I just wanted to say for the benefit of those searching the site for specific...
I know this is kinda postable in the other thread right now, but has anyone got any info/experience/opinions with or of this specific mic?
All I know is it's an old condenser that can run on an AA battery (!!!) but there's a chance to score one for about £30 and I wondered if it might add a...
Ok so I did an acoustic set last night, just me and my friend's Taylor (thank God for rich friends). I've never been sure about my voice because it sounds great in my head but crap on tape.
So with no band, last night I could really hear my singing properly and I was REALLY impressed. My...
ok i've taken the plunge and decided to get ...
a cheap chinese condenser.
i know everything there is to know about the SP B1 but can't listen to it cos i can only get it on mail order. it's 60 + 15 shockmount + p&p.
i went into my local today to get a monitor amp and looked at an SE...
not strictly a recording question but i'm engineering for a ska band and need to buy a couple of clip-on mics for their saxes. one for tenor and one for alto - so one needs to have a good low end response!
about £100 ($150) each tops ideally.
Just canvassing some opinions. i've got some DECENT wharfedale hifi speakers, they're certainly not reference quality but they're usable. i have two choices.
1: buy something like a samson servo 170 for them. is this a decent amp and, more importantly, when i later buy some passive monitors...
This may be an easy question, I'm sure someone must have considered it.
You know that tone you get when you press your ear to the body of your acoustic while you play it? That's the sound I want. It sounds a lot like that limited edition Burns Billy Bragg plays. Try it with an acoustic of...
this could be a good christmas present from the one you love ....... or it could be the biggest waste of money since Peavey!

just saw it and it made me laugh.
Ok quick question. I know i can't use condensers on kick unless i want to 'accidentally' retire a C1000S or something. but can i use standard dynamics? i.e. is there anything inherently different in kick mics that means they can absorb a higher SPL or is the larger diaphragm just for...
Right I have not much money but I do have free time (student life is funny like that) so I fancy having a go at some DIY pres before I go buy a £160 one - if nothing else it'll be good fun and in theory I'm unlikely to make anything worse than that found in my Behringer desk currently!
I'm...
here's an interesting concept for some of you. it's not a flame or an angry rant. it comes from frustration at the treatment of some people on these boards, but this one in particular.
when someone comes on and asks what the best they can get for a certain price, that's because that's how...
anyone heard or used this DI box? is it any good or just (yet) another gimick? if you switch the cab simulator off are there any disadvantages to, say, the standard behri DI?
mine is a gradually expanding home setup, I currently have VST 5, a delta 44, some sennheiser e845s (for live mostly), a C1000 and a behringer UB1204. the question over my need to buy some mics will be posed in a seperate thread!! i tend to be recording one or two things at once so i don't need...
