The UK branch of the manufacturers of the mic I am thinking of say that they will honour the guarantee of a mic bought in the USA and will repair it in the UK, It does not have to be shipped back to the USA for repair.

The price for mics in the USA seem considerably lower than in the UK. Has anybody in the UK ordered a mike over the internet from the USA and had it shipped direct to the UK. If so how did things work out. Any pitfalls ??

Was there any improvement to the mic's. If so can you give us a detailed description of what the improvements did for the mic's.

Homestudioguy, 'Try before buying' and also 'try something you can't afford for comparison' are good advice and I will do just that. Probably, like many others, I feel a bit of a fool trying out mics in a shop. If I had a good voice then I would take the opportunity to demonstrate to the...

Will check the SE mini out, but it will probably not be for a few weeks at least. I will email you at Mysite when I do. Have searched forum for AT4040 but cannot get a clear, detailed opinion of it's good and maybe not so good points. A lot of contributors say things like " a good mic" ...

Re Discobox's request earlier in this discussion. I would also be very interested in a comparison between AT4040 and AT4050. I can't afford the 4050 but would like to know how much less of a mic [if any] the 4040 is and what the main differences are. The AT sound clips of male voice hav'nt...

Yes, I probably can try the SE Electronics mini. Its advertised as being in stock at a store about 10 miles from me. I have it in mind to make a very, very short list of mics that seem promising and which they have on demo and then try each of them out before deciding. Will also take my existing...

Homestudioguy I've been away for a few days hence the delay in thanking you for you for suggesting the CAD M9. The problem is that here in the UK the prices of mics are much higher than in the USA. For example the CAD M9 is priced at the the equivalent of $800, the SE Z3300A at $550 and so on...

Innovations, Homestudioguy, Supercreep Thanks for your suggestions. I will do my best to check these mics out. I think the Shure mics will be more than I can afford [£499 and £703 here in the UK]

CNIC tanks for your reply. I managed to find your own post in which you ask a similar question to mine. One of the other recommended mikes was an AT 4050 and I just wonder if you managed to try it out in comparison with the T-3. If so I would be very interested in what the differences were.

Can anybody out there help, I would appreciate your advice. My voice is 'darkish' , not as dark as Johnny Cash but probably best described as baritone. My existing mike is an Octava MK319 which has been fully modified as per Michael Joly's recommendations. The mods have vastly improved the...

Antispatula Back to your original query. Do the instructions say 'set the voltmeter' OR 'set the Vu meter'. The reason I am asking is that some Vu meters are also known as +4db meters and some are +10 meters. I believe this is to take into account some very quick peaks in the incoming signal...

To Michaeljoly Would be very interested in how you get on in the shootout. I remember we had a long discussion about modding the 319 some time ago. Nice to see you are still a fan of the 319 Will scan the forum from time to time to see if you manage the shootout, and how the 319...

Beck Hope you get well soon. Look forward to hearing from you when are OK Demto

Beck Re "does it list input and output levels anywhere" ?. I forgot to answer this part of your question. This might be relevant... from the manual AUX Max input 35 mv AUX Max output 2.5 V Max distortion 3%

Davemania I had just finished replying to Becks info [above] and when I sent it and checked it was on the board I saw you had also sent me some info. Thankyou. I,m in the UK and its gone 3 AM here so you must also be up late or I guess you may live in the USA. The problem is that I want to do...

Beck Thank you very much for answering Yes, I have the manual, and yes its not clear. The Vu meters do not work in playback mode on the A77 [not just mine, on all of them] So you cant just play the tape and set meters to 0vu for a +6dB replay level. The manual says play the "test tape" and...

Dr Zee Thanks for the info but I have the manual already. Unfortunately the English version is badly translated from the original German and in any case it doesnt answer my question as the output from the "test tape" mentioned in it is not given so I can't extrapolate the answer I need. Revox...

Gentlemen, Gentlemen, Please...... Instead of having a pop at each other why don't you concentrate your talents on trying to answer the post I made a few days ago "Revox A77 alignment tape and recording level". Then I would be impressed.

Its a long time since you posted the question. Maybe you will read this maybe not. I dont think you will have any problems reaching a +6dB operating level. Many users use Quantegy 456 tape which is a +6dB tape. Whether they use this as a +6dB tape or not I dont know. They could still have the...
