I got the T3 for $350, and I'm partially funding it by selling an extra RNC that I never use for $130 shipped. PM me if you're interested.

You can get a 4033 for $125 used? :confused:

I'd get a set of Oktava MC012s offa Ebay. Either that or up your budget to $300 and get the Studio Project C4s

Because the Rode mic doesn't necessarily have better quality. Why ask a question with questionable assumptions? :p

Go to the MP3 forum. Most of the stuff recorded there is probably with budget condensors.

With your current equipment and $2000, I'd get a Soundelux U195, an SM7, and an RNP.

But then again, you haven't used the N72s, Steve. :) Or am I wrong about that?

The meters on the DMP3 are useless, IMO. I don't look at them for anything.

I like my N72s quite a bit, but I almost like their cheaper, cleaner, uncolored C84s better. I think for rock, the N72s are the logical choice, though.

I wrote that review. If you want to hear the clips that I used to write the review, check them out here. Maybe you'll come to a different conclustion than I did.

IMO, yes. If you're recording a whisper-quiet vocalist, you may have a little bit of a problem with the preamp noise.

IMO, the RNP is a lot more musical than the DMP3, which can be a touch unforgiving and a little harsh in the highs. The RNP is extremely clean and musical, especially for the price. I wish I still had mine. Also, the DI on the RNP versus the DMP3 is not even a contest. The RNP DI is one of my...

Thanks! _____________________

I see what you're saying, but lots of folks that are responding, both on this thread and on the gearslutz thread, are saying they don't feel comfortable running phantom through any but an XLR patchbay. I guess I was just under the impression that this was a no-no, but apparantly it depends on...

I started this thread over at gearslutz for more conversations about phantom through a patch bay: http://gearslutz.com/board/showthread.php3?p=503636&posted=1 I'm learning something every day. I thought that mics and patch bays never mixed. It appears that answer is more complicated than that.

Every pro facility I've ever seen has mic connectors in the wall that go to the preamps. I really want to do that one of these days, rather than having to constantly reach behind my rack in feats of acrobatic skill.

You're running your mics through a patch bay?
