    Fifty dollar mics

    Audio Technica MB3000L This is a clip of me using the MB3000L that I mentioned earlier in the thread. YouTube - Redemption by Mike Norton I think it is a pretty special mic that is almost condenser like in a studio setting. They're discontinued now but are worth checking out. Paul White in...

    Fifty dollar mics

    I'm still waiting for the mics to arrive but I found one info that said there were different capsules available so I think my ones are cardioid and there are also omnis etc. Scroll down the page on this link and see the display of Elvis' stage mics..... There are some serious fans out there...

    Fifty dollar mics

    NewsFlash Hey Larry did you blow your $20 yet? To further confound the brain cells.... The ATR30 seems to be going down in price as we speak. I guess this is the end of its run so they're going out the door...

    Fifty dollar mics

    They're really solid mics... I can't believe they're only $20. By the way my agent's fee is $19.....Whattthe.... let us know what you think of them. Also today I'm not sure what I've bought but I saw an ebay listing today for two AV CS15E mics. SDC condenser/electrets. I'd never heard of AV...

    Audio Technica AT2035 Condenser Microphone question ...

    Hi Alan...Love that dollar parity... I can see a few bits of gear coming my way..... As I said if you ask for First Class Postage it makes it almost local rates. The stage vocals are a relatively untapped source of good studio quality mics that go for very reasonable prices on ebay... even the...

    Audio Technica AT2035 Condenser Microphone question ...

    I've bought three AT mics from the US through ebay and had no trouble. You can ask for US First Class postage which makes it cheaper.

    Audio Technica AT2035 Condenser Microphone question ...

    Another point I'd like to make before we all disappear is the value and versatility of the stage vocal condenser mics that are increasingly available. AT have recently packaged the AT2020 into the AT2010 for the stage vocal thing. It means that you have a mic that will do fine for your studio...

    Audio Technica AT2035 Condenser Microphone question ...

    Found this piece from Anon I'm also interested in this comparison.... The only feedback I could find was from a guy out there on the net somewhere... don't know his name so I hope he doesn't mind me passing this on. Quote: "Somehow, even though the capsule is 24mm (as compared to the old...

    Shure 545 story ... and can you put a date on them ???

    Hey Darrin and Raw, Thanks for those links... it really helps you to tap into the history of these old mics. I'm not sure (excuse the pun) whether it is Kosher but here's a link to the thread I started in parallel with this one. Some pretty good info from some technical guys that might interest...

    Shure 545 story ... and can you put a date on them ???

    I was reading an old thread of Hairy Larry's called "Undiscovered mic bargains" where he mentioned a couple of the old Realistic mics. Michael Joly and others had joined in and chased a couple of these old Shure rebadged items. It's a good thread and worth reading. I saw a Realistic on ebay...

    Sharp Mic

    The guy wants some help but all you find is the usual sad little dudes chiming in with their attempts at superiority. So what if he doesn't know the jargon. Old Chinese saying: "Some small and wretched men in order to stand tall, have to chop off the heads of other men."

    Can you get airy but not harsh in a cheap mic?

    There are a few obsequious types on this forum who relentlessly kiss Harvey Gerst's rear end but at the same time dump on some of the cheaper mics he uses. Harvey has achieved professional results with some of the MXL mics that are pretty cheap and dare I say it "airy". I don't know which ones...

    Marshall MXL 603, Rode NT3, or AT4041?

    Hi There I know it's an old post... but this guy was very easy to deal with. My friend here in Australia got them very promptly and I guess the postage will be cheaper in the US. http://search.ebay.com.au/_W0QQsassZytsurQQhtZ-1
