Ummmm ... figure-8s are suppose to have the most proximity effect of any of the polar patterns.

I keep mine in small bubble-wrap bags in a canvas suitcase that I travel to jobs with. I just got the idea of maybe also putting the custom wind foam on the mics for cushioning from shock.

Everytime I try omnis for live recordings I always regret the bleed.

I just today had something similar. I have a minidisc plugged into AC (rather than battery operated) and when I touch the body of the mic there is a noticeable hum in the audio. Not sure yet but I'm thinking that this may have to do with in being connected to AC. I did notice that if I...

Just want to add that a couple times I've folded down XY stereo to money for recordings of instruments, and have found that the recordings sounded much better in stereo.

Is the RM-4 a figure-8?

Why does the volume go down?

The cheapest retailers I know of have it for between $900 and $1000. Are you buying used?

The price they quoted me on a mic a few weeks back is still the same. :)

Yeah, it must be real recent. I remember going there about a few weeks back and it was still their old site where I had to call for a price.

How long has Full Compass been showing prices online?

I have heard elsewhere that the NT2000 and the NT2-A were smoothed out on the top as compared to the NT1000. A buddy of mine had the NT1-A and we both agreed it sounded a little raspy on vocals so my buddy got rid of it.

I haven't used those AT mics but I used to have the NT1000 and would not recommend it. I found it a tad on the harsh side for voice and got rid of it quick.

I record a variety of vocalists and it seems I have more of the females who are sibilant than the guys. I have used a de-esser plug-in but have not been real happy with it overall; by the time you get the essing down, it starts hitting on the other highs, making it kind of flat sounding. I'm...

Even the chinese ribbons are smooth? How are they for a sibilant vocalist?

Thanks, ermghoti. Do you have any idea how the sibilance is on that ribbon?

I have seen them offered on ebay before.

How's the proximity effect of the M500? Does the M88 have more prox effect?

Might the 3:1 rule apply here?

Which model ribbon do you have?
