I don't know if this will help or not, but kandkaudio.com has a lundahl ribbon microphone transformer that will give you a balanced signal to wire a xlr jack with. The Lundahl transformer is an improvement on many lower end ribbon transformers like my Oktava ML52's. Try at your own risk - though...

I got to throw the Oktava ML52 in the ring, only because you mentioned vintage. There's something about this mic's sound, in a lowfi/older beatles recording sort of way, that says vintage to me. Very dark, perhaps a bit overly warm with early top end roll off. You could pick one up - if you can...

I think an effective, quick, and cheap solution is to drape a few heavy blankets over microphone stands set up as a "T". Surround yourself with them as you track thereby making an improvised isolation booth. I've used it before and found it helpful. But no doubt, the better the room the better...

I can't speak for the Pro___ but the TA1600 is a good amp. especially if you can get it used. The only drawback in my opinion is there is no balanced connectors. Hafler is a good name and their rep has been pretty solid over the years. I think the Pro would be a good choice if you're needing the...

Try this, it's not free but it's fun to play with http://www.pspaudioware.com/indexen.html?url=http://www.pspaudioware.com/plugins/vintage.html Hope that helps

then again, I'm just speaking from my experience with the durability. Some one else's experience may differ greatly. Any one?

I'm not really familiar with all the options of the Mogami line, but the 2549 (at least) has the standard "store bought" insulation width. My 2806 cable however has a thinner insulation and is intended for patching of rack gear and permanent/semi permanent installations. If you're really...

When you're talking about the low electron flow that a microphone's diaphram produces, you don't need thick wire. Thick wire will actually resist the low current slightly more than thinner wire. It's more about the material and the construction they use. So don't worry, Mogami know's what...

have you tried it on toms?

Use this at your own risk, but I seem to remember some Live Sound guys pooring Listerine through the grill (grill was off the mic of course) then letting it dry. Again use at your own risk. I've never tried it - never had to either, but I would if I had the same problem. Let us know how it works...

I just upgraded my Art Tube MP with a Rane MS1b. Its mono but you should be able to get two for $300. It's a worth while improvement.

What's a sign that a preamp tube is going? My Radius 10's (TL audio 4 channel tube pre) channel 3 and 4 are clipping pretty early (the red LED lights) and the yellow "warming" LED usually comes on after the clip light - if the yellow one lights at all. Any thoughts? I hope it's just a tube...

for quality audiophile stuff, try www.madisound.com good luck

I heard a recording done with a pair of Apex 435's as overheads (as well as other recordings on acoustic and voice) and was blown away by the bang-per-buck factor. You'd save a ton of money and still get a huge, clear sound! Some people have compared them to the Nuemann TLM 103's. Search the...

It sounds great as-is or ready to be hot-rodded with the $58 Lundahl 2911 ribbon microphone transformer available from www.kandkaudio.com for an improved response. The full modification can be seen in the most recent Tape Op Magazine #44 on page 60. It's a simple modification that only takes an...
