Keep in mind that you need to actually record the mic and compare the recordings to get a true assessment of the difference between front and back. If you try to judge them by listening live through headphones while singing or speaking into them, the test will be fairly meaningless. The...

While I don't own either a BRC or a Fireport, I can tell you that they've been widely discussed on the HD24 group over the past few years. Everyone likes the Fireport, while the BRC seems to be problematic with the HD24. For more info, read the archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hd24

Are you willing to buy B-Stock units? If so, you can get them direct from PMI. http://pmiaudio.com/bstock.html

I've read several reports suggesting that the two mics do not sound exactly the same. It could be that the electronics are different, or it could be that the presence of the rear diaphragm changes the acoustics of the capsule. However, it's still quite possible that they may be close enough to...

That is not the case. Nady is simply leveraging their business volume to intimidate Alctron into refusing the group buy order. It has nothing to do with rights, it has only to do with money. Alctron stands to make a lot more from Nady - in the long run - than they do from the group buy. So...

Be careful. If you put your signal through too many right angle connectors, you'll wind up with square waves! :p ;) :rolleyes:

A pair of Oktava MC012s would be right in your price range. They make great drum overheads. The Beta87 is designed principally as a vocal mic. If your goal is to get a pair of vocal mics that can double as drum overheads, I'd suggest a pair of AKG C535s as a better choice. I'm sure the...

Neither. The change is pretty readily noticeable, but not so dramatic that you think it's a different mic. To my ear, the big difference falls in two areas: the extended low end (making the MC012's proximity effect even stronger, so be careful with it), and the clean midrange. The midrange...

My goal wasn't to announce a sale, just wondered what they'd be worth on the market. I still don't know the answer, but I would expect it to be a bit more than $50. Maybe I should just continue to try to find time to mod them myself. Thanks just the same. I'd expect to be able to see what...

Hmmm. What do you think I could get for my pair of them? I haven't used them in years. I keep thinking about doing one of the mods to them, but I never seem to get around to it.

Apparently it's fun to taunt him. Here, I found a song for him: Your head's too big It's taking up too much room Your head's too big It grows like a balloon And it might just float away... If you're unluckier than that Someone such as myself might come along And it just might pop. from Your...

Thanks for jumping in to help lead this, Michael. Chance and Michael, as you get this process started, be sure to notify the participants in the last purchase. I'd certainly want to participate again, and I'm sure that many others would as well. Thanks. It would probably be a good idea to...

I've never looked closely at the 324 Live. It is a digital board, so I suspect that any direct outs will be digital. I don't know whether or not it has channel inserts. However, for audio quality I suspect that it will be a very good unit. I've used a number of budget mixers to do live...

Actually, the HD24's clock (when operating at 44.1) runs very slightly faster than 44.1. AT 48K, it's more or less perfect, but at 44.1 it is very slightly fast. It isn't off enough to cause any pitch issues, and it is still clean and jitter-free, but it is about 0.04% fast. The only impact...

If you just "show up" without coordinating it with him (or his management) ahead of time, you deserve what you get. I've got great relationships with a lot of local sound guys, and they repatch their stuff for me all the time. It's part of the job - for both of us. When you're going to record...

I've had good luck with these. You can buy them for about $70 each at many different online vendors. Fullcompass, Music123, Sweetwater, even Amazon. They sound good and are nearly indestructable. http://www.procosound.com/images/MS2.PDF#search='Pro%20co%20MS2%20mic%20splitter' They also...

I wonder why the price is so high on that group buy. Perhaps: 1) Someone is tacking on a profit, or 2) Alcatron has raised the price of the mic considerably since January, or 3) Someone has simply miscalculated the costs involved. Based on the actual costs that we experienced in the last...
