    Codenser Mic for Grand Piano

    then check out the link I gave in post #11. I chose the modded Apex's, and have time and again. One solo tpt artist I'm working with who has several albums out has chosen it as the best mic he's ever used. Period. It's not an "exact" coles, but it is very similar, and to my ears, preferable...

    Codenser Mic for Grand Piano

    And good SDC's and LDC cost equally as much. So the point is? The ribbons I ended up using in the mix were modded (M.Joly) 205's and with shock mounts and everything, cost me around $325 apiece. I liked them much better than the Coles for that ap.

    Codenser Mic for Grand Piano

    Jacob - think ribbon. You'll get some fantastic results. For years I only used LDC's or SDC's, but eventually turned towards ribbons, and got the warmest, most natural sound I've ever gotten. Check it out for yourself - I did a shootout of several different Ribbons on Piano...

    That's a bit obtuse. Can you be a little more specific?

    Apex 460

    Modded 460.... For those of you interested in trying out some different kinds of mods on the 460/1200/CV12/etc., that would like comparisons to the classic standard mics, I did a big shootout with a MJ modded 460 against: Klaus Heyne modded U47 Stock M49 Sputnik U87 M71S and a bunch of other...

    CK12 technical question

    Thanks for the interesting discussion Phil!! :D I find it interesting that we can put a man on the moon, and fire lazers 1000 miles and blow out the tires on a vehicle without damaging the vehicle, and even make viagra, but we can't recreate a 50 year old capsule design. LOL Funny stuff...

    Group Buy ACMP81 Clips...........

    Fun to go over this thread again. Still using the 81's often. Used one with a joly modded 205 on a harmon muted trumpet player the other day. He LOVED it. Best sound he's ever had on an album. And he's tried everything from MXL's to real 47's to 87's to 57's to ??? ...... A UM70 came...

    Group Buy Interest?

    Thanks for the update Chance. I'm sure many appreciate it. Like you, I find it quite interesting that many who were not even a part of the GB seem more than happy to throw stones and intentionally create divisiveness when it really isn't warranted.... I'm happy with my gear. I can't say that...

    Group Buy Interest?

    Right then. Well it was just my opinion. Not going to get into an internet arguement with you. Like I said, have at it.

    Do the moderators resort to name-calling on this site now? Have at it. Close this sucker down!!! Better yet, edit out what you PERSONALLY feel is unworthy, and archive the sucker.

    Group Buy Interest?

    Sorry Mr. Moderator, but that is plain stupid. I hope the owners of the site enjoy watching the log-in's and hits to the site drop. I would guess 20% or maybe more...... If unwanted here, there are plenty of other places to discuss.....:mad:

    Group Buy Interest?

    For my purposes - yes, they're 100% useable. For those who need massive EQ - no. This is no new issue. We've known this for MONTHS. It does not make them un-useful or a bad purchase IMO.

    Group Buy Interest?

    Well, I'd think that if there's "a bunch" of them messed up, that between people that I know who have them - out of 17, there would be at least one that wouldn't work don't you think??? But maybe no. There's at least 3 or 4 units that are perfectly quiet - zero hum wide open with EQ in and...

    Group Buy Interest?

    :D LOL :D Back at it I see, eh?? Thanks for the tip. I'm using my unuseable TNC pre's alongside my API's, Shadow Hills, Purple's and D&R's - E V E R Y D A Y, thank you. And quite often they get the nod over any of the other pre's I have. And they are broken according to you. Hmmm...

    ABSOLUTELY!!!! A compilation of either links or text/pics and the original author's (experimenters) information and contact would be invaluable.

    Audio 1 is "in" phase. Audio 2 is "out" of phase.

    Out of phase

    If they are group buy mics, check the silk screening. Mine are actually in phase, but one of the bodies is silk screened 180 degrees wrong making me THINK it was out of phase, but not. Recording a fingersnap in fig8 on both sides will show you which is +. It will be the "rising" waveform in...

    acmp 1081 - fully functional or not?

    These came at the same time mine did. I WAS in a different envrionment (studio), so there were variables. To do a scientific test, I'd need them at my place. But I can safely say they were useable and worked fine for what they were designed to do.
