I've used both and prefer the Delta 1010.

I wonder about the tube being in a very small casing with no apparent ventalation. MSH, how did you make that work? I would think the tube would get hot and in turn need ventalation and or make the case hot as well :confused:

The Denecke AD-20 is a microphone pre-amp and 20 bit, 44.1 kHz A/D converter. It does not supply phantom power. Denecke makes the "companion" PS-2 which is dual 48 v phantom power supply. Both of these units have been embraced by ambient/ field recordists. For portablity, they both run on...

Make sure you clean the terminals thoroughly of the old solder using a soldering iron and either solder wick or a solder sucker. Don't heat up the terminals any longer that necessary. Cut off the broken section of the wire and start with a fresh section. The wires will be long enough to cut the...

I've had good luck with using the Denecke Dcode PS-2 for powering the MSH-1A's in the field. This portable (9v battery) powered dual phantom power supply supplies all the current they need. I had a Rolls PB224 that didn't cut the mustard with many microphones in the field. It couldn't supply 48v...

The SM57 and SM58 are similair, but I prefer the SM57 for both instrument micing and vocals. I agree with the others that suggest getting a condensor next.

MD 421's ;)

I have four of these: http://www.podcastingnews.com/items/Joemeek/JOEJM27SM.htm You can get two for $45.

MD-421 sounds very good with saxaphone. In my opinion, there is really no best mic for any one application. It depends on what you are looking to accomplish. I know about the MD-421, as I had my own sound reinforcement company for a while and was lucky enough to get a bunch of MD-421's at a good...

Being a proud owner of a matched pair of the MSH-1A's, I say get the MSH-1A's. They are great little microphones. I have doubts about how the Karma microphones sound. I happen to know that the MSH-1A's sound great! Go for the sure thing. I'm not a mic designer, but I do know that cardioid mics...

mshilarious: I just saw this: http://www.karmaaudio.com/mini.html Is this along the same lines as what you were trying with the PC boards? Sorry to hear it didn't work out. I'm wondering what will be new on your web store on Tuesday too... :confused:

So, a few of us got in on one of the last batches point-to-point wired MSH-1A's? Maybe I'll have a matched set of collectors items in twenty years... ;)

It's a good idea to check your microphones for phase when you get them. Note and remember any that deviate from the others. Occasionally one will be wired wrong. I've read that some manufacturers use PIN three as positive, but off the top of my head, can't remember which ones.

I'm guessing it's for the extra time it takes to match the microphones. It is a fairly standard industry practice to charge extra for "matched" pairs. Most manufacturers charge MUCH more than $6 ;)

After reading all this and e-mailing Mshillarious, I bought a matched pair. For the sound quality and price point, I haven't found anything else that's even close. This is my 1st post here.
