Mikey, You got me on this one. Looks kind of pieced together. I don't think it's a PL80. Maybe an RE50. But they came black anyway I think. Or maybe black or grey. ??? Somebody probably painted it black to use on a video set. I've bought several PL80s and I don't think I spent $39 yet. Not...

Sorry about getting confused. I believe the D112 is a kick mic. I don't have one. The mics I used are a vintage AKG D120E. A kind of a light small vocals mic. Not to say that a pair of D112s wouldn't work good on congas. It's just that I don['t have any so I never tried it.

brother rat, I'm clueless on this one. I have read that when harmonica players cup a cardiod dynamic mic they turn it into an omni. And the vents do tune the cardiod pattern. Anyone else got any info on this idea? Nothing's to crazy to try. Thanks, Hairy Larry

Supercreep, 4050s? Are they Audio Technica? Thanks, Hairy Larry

brother rat, Condenser omnis are fine for studio use. I like my Naiant's and they are several generations back. These are wonderful mics and very cheap brand new. For dynamic omnis I go vintage. The Realistic 1070s (b, c, or d) are always for sale on ebay and can be had for $30 a pair. The...

I have one of these GLS cables and I grab it all the time because it's 5 feet longer. I use it for live gigs, field recording, and in the studio. They hold up good. This cable has never given me any trouble. I would buy more of them if I needed any xlr cables. Thanks, Hairy Larry

Hi, I do voice over for my radio show and spots. I have worked hard on my radio voice which is deep and breathy but I don't know about sexy. And this is weird. I talk right into my iRiver H320 dictaphone mic which is probably a 25 cent omni capsule and I record in mono to the iriver hard...

brother rat, One of the advantages of omnis is that they are very forgiving as to placement. When doing live sound I often just hang a 635 over the top of the cabinet by the cord with the mic falling right in front of the speaker facing down. Works great. In a studio I would probably put them...

moresound, Yeah. At Blues Fest we use a high quality but not too high powered vocals pa and sometimes it's challenging to get the vocals out front over loud electric guitars. I did some additional post on the originals in the set on a song by song basis. EQ, compression, and some minor fixes. I...

EV Cobalt CO4 review Right hyar. https://homerecording.com/bbs/equipment-forums/microphones/ev-cobalt-co4-review-34728/ Thanks, Hairy Larry

The Axis, Thanks for the review. I bought one of these after having it recommended in my fifty dollar mic thread and I thought it was very clean sounding. Then I got busy and I haven't had time to test it more thoroughly. So I'm going to post a link to your review in my fifty dollar mic thread...

Hi, Anthony asked me a question about dynamic omnis so I thought I'd post my answer. Please add your thoughts on omnis. When you would use them and how. Also any additional history of omnis in audio recording would be cool. ----- The EV RE50 and the EV 635a are really the same mic and they...

The review Hi all, Ok, now you've got me intrigued. Prodpipe has a jpg of the review at their site. Sound On Sound Review - Microphone TT1 Buy it now on ebay for $28. Or bid on it starting at $20. Peers over bush. "Very Interesting." We need a user review in the fifty dollar mic thread...

R&B n Jazz Lady, I like the M-Audio preamps. You can get M-Audio interfaces with preamps included. I think they sound very good. Here's the Solo, a firewire interface. M-Audio FireWire Solo | Sweetwater.com They have less expensive options if you can use USB m-audio interface |...

I remember this thread Hi, I think sharing your recordings is very important. It provides a focus and makes it real, (compared to what? (Les McCann and Eddie Harris, Swiss Movement)) I am a volunteer at KASU, 91.9 FM and streaming at kasu.org. I record the KASU Blue Monday, Bluesday Tuesday...

brother rat, Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'm back in school and I haven't had much chance to play with my new microphones. I recorded last Friday night but I just used the internal mics on my Zoom H4. We were playing as a duo so I just stuck it in close to our amps to reduce audience...

Mikey, I got two MB3000Ls on two separate purchases. These are, in fact, very good mics. I posted this. Promises | Blow Your Own Horn I haven't had a chance to try them as vocals mics yet. Which is their intended purpose. But I'm impressed. Also I have an EV Cobalt. It's a CO4. It was...

A $20 mic new. I got a used ATR-30 for 10.95 shipped. It works. Haven't had a chance to mess with it. Thanks, Hairy Larry

Dynamics I know they don't have the sex appeal of condenser mics but they are more frequently used and more generally all purpose. EV vintage mics are nice. I love my Beyer dynamics. I just got a pair of Audio Technica MB3000L mics used for next to nothing. (under $50 for both) I also...

Phil, I sympathize. I've got it bad. Must buy microphones. It's so hard to control. I put an inordinate amount of my meager resources into microphones, instruments, and recording gear. On the plus side I look at it this way. Would I be better off in the stock market? Or maybe Real Estate...
