Also try internally muting the body of the mic with adhesive velco. This will help reduce any sympathetic resonances.

Seems like I answer this question every couple of months.:)
The 266xl was designed for guitar/bass rigs and small P.A. applications. It has crossed over to demo studio use because of its price, not its design. For studio use I'd be looking at the 160a, 1066, DDP, and maybe the 166xl.

I can't think of two SDC's that are more opposite than the 451 and the 603.

Oh, and concerning diaphragm resonance; after recording 2 or 3 singers you won't have to worry about it. Their expectorate will have changed the frequency response and resonant frequency of the diaphragm anyway.:p :D ;)

I use the fuzzy side of self-adhesive Velcro. I line the inside of the mic body with a few strips and that presses the fuzzy part against the internal housing. This completely stops the outer body from vibrating.

This doesn't have to do with diaphragm resonance but, if you pull apart an AKG C12 for example, you will have a brass tube that is the main body of the mic. If you then hold it by it's edges and tap it is has a pure bell like resonance, BING! If you sing through the tube it will resonate at...
Agreed.
It's not like I really know what to do about it either. I love tubes, but people literally die for those little glowy things, just like diamonds.
Where do YOU draw the line???
Shall we discuss tube manufacture instead?

Bzzzzzzzt!
Mackie, Gibson, and Fender all have stuff made overseas.
Thanks for playing.

Good catch! We just barely moved the manufacture of the 266xl overseas. I'll alert our webmistress that there's an error on the website.
Thanks!

Uh, not you Alan...THEM...Them. What got THEM so motivated to ignore your cease and desist letters. It seems like they want to duke it out.

Sounds like they're willing to go to the mat. I wonder what got them so motivated? :confused:

Sheesh, you guys and your gates.
Call me crazy, but I like to mic it up right from the beginning. No gates allowed.

If you aren't using it to bring out the ghosts, ditch it, it's superfluous. If you aren't getting enough of the snares with the top mic you need to move it 'til you do. Or loosen the snares to get more rattle. Fix the problem at the front end, not the back end.

That would defeat the purpose of an "under-the-snare" mic. In the rare times I use a bottom mic, I'm mic'ing those snares to help bring out "ghost" strokes. I wouldn't then want to gate those strokes out.
