    BEST MIC for home studio

    I'm not familiar with the M Box but my son borrowed my KMS 105 and it did not work on his system. Turns out his phantom was low voltage not full 48 volt supply. Check that voltage spec before you buy mic.

    How does diaphragm size/polar pattern relate to mic applications?

    The room will break you . I've been working with certain choir that I can not get anywhere but in their space. Their space is plagued by the wrong timing etc. of reflections and that place has driven me nuts. I've worked and worked at micing that group and still no success. Harvey has...

    Where can I find a cheap functional ORTF bar?

    I've bought a couple of multi mic bars here but each time had problems getting my mics into ortf using them. What I ended up doing was using one of the short multi bars I bought with it on the stand mounted using one of the end mic holes. Then I used the clamp on bar only that came with one of...

    What Happened to AKG 451

    Lets throw in the Josephson Engineering c42 also. I do know it's a little more expensive mic than the ones he named more in line with the 451 in price.

    What Happened to AKG 451

    What ever happened to the AKG 451??? I think most all of the reading I've done and various posts etc by respected engineers most always mentioned it as a top choice overhead mic. Also it was mentioned as a high if not first choice for other sdc use. Was it the model change?? Did they ruin...

    Condensor Microphone theory

    Have a look at page 31 again, I'm the same way I miss things that are right there when I read also. From Neumann Book: "5. Condenser microphones The basic construction of a condenser microphone is shown in Fig. 15: a diaphragm with a thickness of 1 ... 10 µm made of metal or metallized...

    Condensor Microphone theory

    Neumann has a PDF booklet on their site that shows a diagram and tells a little about cond. capsules. I was unable to link the file but try Neumann.com for it. To branch down to it from their home page click on info pool then general information then documents. Then its the top file listed on...

    How does diaphragm size/polar pattern relate to mic applications?

    Re: Harvey's Lesson From Top Recording is just a side line to me but when I went back to the top of this thread and read what Harvey said it really struck me. I've been working in one type craft with a lot of technical aspects for nearly 30 years now and when I reread that post it brought...

    Josephson c42 vs Neumann KM 184

    I'm currently looking at these two mics for a small dia. cond. pair. Can anyone compare them for me. I'm to far from a pro audio dealer to go listen to them and plan to order from a dealer with a return policy. Any other similiar mics I need to look at within the same general price range????

    Audio Technica

    Just wanted to step in and echo that I'm happy here with my pair. They've given a lot of good general purpose service for me.

    Neumann KMS 105

    Diana Krall, Tony Bennet, and a good number others are using that Neuman and it's predecessor live now. I think we would see a lot more people using it if the other mic companies were not supporting artists and tours. One of the recent big TV shows with a lot of top talent used it in the...

    How does diaphragm size/polar pattern relate to mic applications?

    I don't claim to be an expert or even advanced at stereo work, as matter of fact one choir is running me up the wall with a reflective space (but that's another post). I just thought I'd give you a link though for some simple pictures of stereo mic setups. First try this one...

    Harvey is even being quoted at Ebay

    I wouldn't doubt Harvey even knows how to mic a tornado where his studio is located. Also bet he's done it with a low budged mic and made it sound real. Experience pays and he's got it when it comes to mics. Call up his site and look at his mic locker. He's into doing it right without a big...

    Mic recommendations for acoustic guitar

    I'm not a guitar but don't I remember that as Tommy Emmanuel's brand. Check his us .com site I think I remember him commenting that Elixier being the one brand string he did not like on his guitar. I do remember it was some certain brand and he should know as many recordings as he's made with...

    The Blue Dragon or Neumann u87?

    Try all you can to audition mics before you buy. I know this is not always possible. What sounds good to me on a u87 into a vintage neve may sound better to you with an sm57 into a Mackie board sans pre. In fact many guys will tell you that some talent is so fixed on a stage mic that's all...

    racks

    Weight There are a very few high rear weight and extra deep cases out there that require rear support. Most pro audio equipment does not require rear support. Some of the rack mount cases for pc do however ask for rear support because of the depth and rear power supply. Some planning on...
