I'll find out soon.... Thanks again.

Thanks John....I've just picked one up, but I haven't had a chance to give it a test run so your erudite response is appreciated. For instrumental usage, is it quiet enough for acoustic guitar, violin etc.?

Thanks John.... What do you use yours for.... live vocals? What do you mean when you say "radio mics" Do you mean studio, spoken word mics? Also what era are we talking about.... how long have they been around ? I see there are a couple of newish ones for sale out there for about $500. How...

Get a pair of M-Audio Pulsar Mk 11 small condensers.... $200 on ebay for the pair. Very clear and smooth.... no harsh top end and they punch way above their weight.

There's not a lot out there about this one so.... Anyone had any experience with it? It seems it might be a discontinued predecessor to the E965 except that it also runs on battery. Also got a pad and HPF.

I know it's an old thread but I can't let that one go through unanswered.....AKG have some great mics. The D320 and D330 and the D3800 and D3700 are up there with the Senn. 421 and others..... The D690, 770, and 880 are easily as good if not better than the 57 & 58. Also the C535 is great on...

Before you drop on the CAD I would say you could do a lot better with the AKG Perception 120.... about $120 new.

I found these mic shootouts very helpful for the spoken word. Transom » The Transom Mic Shootout: Blindfold Test Transom » Handhelds: Microphone Shootout Part 2 I thought the Rode NT3 sounded nice and also the Shure KSM44 and from my own experience I would recommend the Rode NT1a, AKG 420...

It's a cheap setup where the cameraman has just taken the shotgun mic off the camera and given it to the presenter. It's probably a Sennheiser or Rode or AT.

I would urge you to consider something like the AKG Perception 120. Just so versatile and built like a tank...... great sound...... only $120 new ??? AKG Perception

I saw one go for $220 the other day.... couldn't believe it !!! These are great mics especially for the male voice.

See if you can get an M-Audio Sputnik.... you'll never look back.

Budget mics that I have tried recently that impressed me on vocals (I'm baritone / tenor ) were the Rode NT1a..... The M-Audio Solaris..... The AKG Perception 420 All of these punch well above their weight/cost.... They can be found in excellent, used shape for about $150 each.... or $250 new...

Just a couple of handy hints for anyone out there lucky enough to have an M-Audio Sputnik. I left my Sputnik with a tech friend over Christmas so he could record with it while I was away. Also I gave him a spare USA voltage power supply unit and asked if he could switch it to Aussie voltage...

I found this info from a guy who sold one on eBay....It went for 32 euro ..... about $45. Here are some specs and also his assessment of it..... the bottom end rolls off pretty high up !!! Of course he may be crazy or homeless.... but at least he had an AKG mic. Mic Type: Dynamic Polar...

Here's the info:

I got the mic a couple of days ago.... had to clean it up a bit and replace the foam inside the basket..... after 25 years waddya expect. It's not a very solid mic, it doesn't weigh much either, the lower half of the basket is tough plastic and the barrel is aluminium. .....but the basket is...

A recent listing on eBay.... AT-Pro37 Gives new meaning to the idea of Bang for the Buck.... It sold for $15 One can only hope they don't own a puppy or kitten. QUOTE: " This Mic is used with several dents. It is a first year model run and was used for testing. My father loved these...

Does anybody have any other recommendations for battery powered mics..... I've checked out some of the AT mics and Rode have a couple

Excellent work.... Thanks so much.... I couldn't find anything, They're referring to it as a budget line of mics so it may not have the class of the 535 ...but hey it's worth a try at ebay prices. I have a 535 and a couple of the AT mics that run on battery as well so I'll so I'll leave some...
