Because they slapped some red paint on it, gold plated the grill and made it their "flagship" microphone.:rolleyes: http://www.mxlmics.com/condenser_mic/GENESIS/GENESIS.htm

Have any of you guys seen this? link I've been watching these guys try to sell this mic on eBay for a while now (almost a year, maybe more). It's pretty funny! I even sent them a PM asking what was so special about it when they were trying to sell it for music videos and they were saying...

AKA, the infamous Dr. Zaragemca (Gerry Carillo) must be doing something percutive related! I can't wait to hear about it! I am all a shudder and giddy as a school girl in anticipation of what missive he will relate for us in regards to this weekends percutive adventure! I wonder what it will be...

As a parent of a senior departing school this year I had the honor of sitting in with the high school jazz band for a performance under the stars. I offered the use of my kit, both so that they would have a nice sounding rig for the performance, and also so I would have something familiar to...

I think I have exhausted my search for the best vocal mics for my collection. I have built several U47 style mics, which are all amazing sounding. I have built an Ela M clone and a C12 clone. I have several Royer mics that I have hot-rodded to their limits. I have made several other hot rodded...

I get the feeling that our newfound, self professed expert and master of the percutive, Dr. Zaragemca may not actually be a Doctor at all. It's either a self-bestowed title or an honorary one from an non accredited online facility. I would say Dr. Zaragemca is as much a "Doctor" as this guy:

Does anyone here still play with oak drum sticks, and if so...why?!:confused: I switched to hickory over 18 years ago and have never looked back. The advantages of hickory over oak are huge! I do remember when I didn't, or couldn't afford to buy large quantities of good sticks, so I relied on...

I think we need to list any mics that we feel are absolutely useless! I think it should be a sticky and would help newbies be able to see right up front which mics are being pawned off as decent for the price, but in reality are just about as junk as can be. My nomination: MXL 2001 and 2001P...

I have a friend that I gave my old drum set to and he just gave it back to me because he can't use it anymore. I'm thinking I might make it my live set for when playing out. The trouble is that it is beat to hell and in bad shape. There's rust all over the hardware and the coverings are in...

I'm depressed. Well not very, but some. I bought one of those Nady ribbon mics a while back and used it on guitar amps and thought it was OK. Nothing to write home about. Well, all the recent talk about ribbon sag made me think about taking it apart to look and see if there might be any sag...

Like on an Apex 460, Nady TCM1150 etc. I'd be interested in transformers that aren't being used. PM me for details. Thanks, Phil

This is a rough copy of a song I've been working on. Really rough, more of a "proof of concept" that I intend to be in the Country vein or a crossover. A different singer will be doing the main tracks when we go into final production. This is rough sketch of what I expect the song to sound like...

What's the deal here?! I've seen the V69's guts, and this ain't it!!! link $99?? They have 5 of them. Also looks like they're selling only the mic and no power supply or cable. I'm thinking of sending some questions.

Interesting little trick I discovered and thought I'd share it and see if it helps anyone. I’m trying to get a really thick, personal sound on some country tunes I'm working on, but there is some bleed coming in (maybe from bad tuning or something) It seems as though some of the mics pick up...

I had this great idea! I wanted to be able to have a mic for my snare that was wired with the phase reversed so I could just put it under the snare and go. I went through my old CAD drum mics only to find out that 2 of 4 were already wired out of phase. They were from different batches...

I just finished my project of converting an MXL 960 mic into a Telefunken U47 style microphone using a real Neumann M7 capsule. The reason I called it "The Spirit of 47" was because I know it will not sound exactly like a u47. There's too many component differences, so I opted to give it a name...

Just ordered one of the new PK47 capsules from John. In a conversation with him he told me the specs are dead on to the K47 capsule, which is used in later versions of the U47. Going to try it in comparison to an M7 capsule I have in similar circuits to see how it measures up. I really have high...

I'm using these for toms now and just want to know if anyone who currently uses them engages the high pass filter, or do you leave it off? I'm using the pads, BTW.

Just logged on to eBay. Looking for my usual deals for capsules and found this: link How do you suppose this will change the industry? For those of us who know what this means, tell me if you are as flabbergasted as me. If John has seriously pulled this off, are the scales now tipped? I mean...

Based on Timothy Lawler's thread in the cave, for those of you who don't frequent there: Talk is cheap. Put your money where your mouth is. I've spent many hours here. You have too. HR isn't the playground of some independently wealthy internet mogul. David Fiedler (Dragon) is just a regular...
