Can anyone point me to any threads about the CS series or E series? "CS" isn't a long enough search term here, so that makes it pretty hard to find. I know I shouldn't get excited about vaporware products about which only a few hints are dropped, but, well, microphones are just really cool. I...

Taken from a somewhat hi-jacked thread: I thought a new thread would probably be a more appropriate place to ask for some details on these hinted-at microphones. I'm sure many people would be interested to hear about upcoming microphone ideas and designs. So, how about some info, Alan or...

I bought these items planning to modify them, but I never got around to it. In the meantime a great deal on some other things fell into my lap, so now I need the cash. I have: three MXL 2001 large diaphragm condenser microphones: $59 ea. shipped...

I guess cutting and soldering the cable yourself or with help isn't a good option. I can see the value in having a short tube mic cable. You could try calling Markertek and have them make the cable for you, but it won't be cheap. A pro audio store in your area would probably do this for you...

Marik has modified four mic's for me and fixed one. He's unreachable for a week or so, or I'm sure he'd reply. I heard a single capacitor change (I can't remember if the value was changed or just the brand or type) on an MXL 603s make a small-but-worthwhile improvement. Capacitors do make a...

adjustable stereo mic mount The Sabra Som mounts look like they'd be really worth the money. There is a version with four individual mounts and a longer bar, the ST4: http://www.micsupply.com/standaccessories.htm?id=367 (scroll down) scroll through the stand accessories to see other...

Hey, Ned. Nat here (speaking of little Beyer transformers). Please spend more than a reasonable amount of time time posting here. This board (all message boards) could use as many technically minded persons who've actually done the things they're talking about as it can get. Good stuff. Thanks...

Bad Nady You are right about the unmodified Nady TCM-1050 clip. The performance is distracting, and the strings were different and old. The other clips were made within a few minutes of each other. Marik and I recorded clips over a period of a couple weeks just for mic testing purposes, so we...

This thread has some very good comments about small diaphragm condenser mics and acoustic guitars: http://www.homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?threadid=118136 It also has some recorded clips of some mics in action on a 1970s solid-top dreadnought. The guitar is probably a little bass-heavy...

I just received two MXL 603s's today that both have screw-on capsules. I bought them from a Homerecording member, so I don't know how old they are. They, like the pair I bought over three years ago, have three tiny screws to hold the bottom end piece on, while I think newer ones have a screw-on...

Does anyone know where to buy those thin, round, knurled 5/8" 32 tpi nuts that you find on a mic stand that snug up the mic clip at whatever height or orientation you need? I don't think I've seen a new mic stand with them. Thanks for any help you can give.

retro booming How about a gooseneck on the end of the (chrome, naturally) straight stand? That would likely get him just enough clearance to play guitar and look cool at the same time.

Canare L-4E6S Star Quad 4-Conductor Microphone Cable You could also search Markertek using Canare or Star Quad or L-4E6S. I just finished up four Star Quad cables, and I think I might have done one right all the way through without messing something up. Yay. But now I've got my system down...

the difference is diminished Yep, the difference really is less pronounced on my two mediocre monitoring chains listening to .mp3's as it was with Marik's high-quality monitoring set-up and high-resolution audio. But I hear one clearly better than the other in frequency extension and a little...

Marik is working on that. It was his intention to have .mp3 soundfiles posted on the webbernet. I'm not sure if he'll have all the files (not necessary, in my opinion) or just the Behringers head to head. I think he will post to this thread when he's got that set up. We both agreed that the...

Modified ECM8000 listening trials I visited Marik today and compared a few microphones in use on lightly picked acoustic guitar. We compared two mic's at a time directly during each pass and tried to play in a similar style for reasonable consistency to other passes. Included in the tests were...

I'm planning to buy a laptop in the next two or so months, and I'm planning on running an external 8+ channel sound interface and an external hard drive. I'm still fuzzy on how compatible these devices are. My question is: Can I run a FW interface (maybe the coming devices from Presonus...
