If you use two capsules back to back and a few opamps you can make a very rough approximation of a variable pattern condenser mic. Search google as people have already gone to the trouble of designing and testing this idea.

OT - is there a way to search all of craigslist?

I'm wishing for: - pair of md441s - brauner phantom C

The B1 has a very wide pattern, you can pretty much plonk it anywhere in front of the guitar, it also picks up some room though. With a pair of sdcs it takes a good deal of fiddling with placement to get the sound you want but this also allows more versatility.

Hi Samantha, As you're in the UK studiospares have the 4033 on special if you want to get another for overheads http://www.studiospares.com/productdetails.asp?pid=33119&txtDescription=4033&SearchProductGroup=&cid=&gid=&hidden1= Paddy

The ATM41a has even more presence boost than the 57 and can be quite harsh, I got two of them for $80 shipped from USA to Ireland even at that low price I'd think twice about getting them again.

- a second AT4033 might be a choice for stereo - a large diaphragm dynamic such as the RE20 which will be great on lots of vocals, kick, bass .... - much as I hate it an sm57 for snare is an old reliable and will do lots of other jobs hehe I see snow lizard preempted me on the dynamic

Hi J, I have accomplished this with a programmable midi pedal and midi controllable effects unit. There are integrated solutions now http://www.bananas.com/productdetail.asp/pid_481/productname_Digitech-Vx300-Vocal-Effects-Pedal I'm not sure if you can mute using this but if so it would...

If you can't get MXL to fix it send me a pm and I'll buy it from you, I can use the case and some of the parts for my homemade mics.

if it happens depending on the day then it might be a moisture problem search the archives for solutions, japan can be extremely humid which could lead to condensation on the capulse. The condensation problem is exasberated by getting 'up close and personal' with the mic. [edit] here I saved...

:) thats cool :cool:

The atm35 is a great mic on brass, woodwind even snare and toms, I sold mine when I was strapped for cash last year. The prices have since gone way up on ebay :( Everything I have tried from the pro range was rubbish athough I am told the pro25 is ok. The pro 35ax seems to be deliberately...

seen them before: http://www.thomann.de/index.html?partner_id=97926&page=thoiw6_the_tbone_sct800_tube_mic_prodinfo.html http://www.thomann.de/index.html?partner_id=97926&page=thoiw6_the_tbone_sc1100_grossmembranmikrofon_prodinfo.html...

Milk products are the most common problem, milk fat is to mucous as cement is to concrete. I have seen a lot of singers improve dramatically having given up milk and cheese or moved to fat free milk. If its hot and dry where you are in argentina make sure to keep lubricated with water. The...

Are you talking about a hiss during inhalation or exhalation? Sounds like you need to do some vocal exercises either way. Start with abdominal breathing to support the voice, work on posture and relaxation to open the airways. http://www.vocalist.org.uk/singing_exercises.html And give up...

You need to adjust the levels to make them equal as the human ear tends to interpret louder as better. Does your local music shop stock CAD mics, at that price I'd definitely try out the M179s.

Yes sounds like a capacitor problem. Some of the older russian mics had a disastrous tantalum cap in the circuit. Where did you buy it?

Looking forward to the reviews, nice avatar too :)

This one should fit perfectly and has the advantage of shock isolation too, and its from a great company. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=298919&is=REG This one says 21mm which is a tiny bit bigger than the 635a but still may fit...

Firstly thanks for taking the time to reply Löti, good post. Very few people have these mics and very many people will hold off on buying them until there is more concrete evidence as to their quality. Also judging by your own "astonishment to find out all about the Chinese production" I...
