SX2? Anyone got it? Whats the verdict? Good upgrade? Thanks, Bob

Anyone know of a "monitor switching device" that would allow me to flip a switch & listen to a mix through different monitors, without having to climb behind my gear and re-hook up the second pair to the power amp? Tanks mucho, Bob

Has anyone ever put Mackie HR824's in a control room wall soffit? I heard conflicting reports where some say its easy, and yet others say you shouldn't even dream of putting 824's in a wall soffit! Whats the truth? Anyone done this successfully or got a scoop on this? Thanks... Bob

I want to analyze my rooms correctly, so I can find the problems and teat them myself. So I am wondering if anyone here has used a measurement mic to do this in your own studio, and where do you position the mic? I don't want to have to pay someone, because I'm a cheap sucker- (and poor.)...

I'm looking at getting one last vocal/all around LD condensor for a while, & want it to be a semi "pedigree". I'm torn between the Soundelux U195 vs Nueman U87ai (I know older U87's are preferable). I like both, but have had limited experience with the U195. Mostly mixed projects it was...

Brent Averill 1073 vs Great Rivers MP-2NV... Both based on the Neve 1073... Both Dual channels... Both re-creations of the original... Supposedly both sumptuous :) Big price difference... Brent Averill - $4500 Great Rivers - $1950 So does anyone know if the Averill is really worth that...

I know cloning things is very controversial nowadays, but... does anyone know if there is a good inexpensive clone of the lovely AKG C414? I thought I read something about one built by the Chinese, but I can seem to find anything. Thanks sPoNgE bOb

Can anyone give me a heads up on the AT pro 25 mics? I've got the ATM25's and they are good for kick & toms, but I've never heard anything about the "pro 25". Reason is, I need to snag a couple of dynamic mics for toms, and want to keep the price in the $120 or less range. Ideas? Maybe some...

Does anyone know of any sources for getting parts for repairing/replacing the xlr connector unit in the end of SM57's & 58's?. I haven't tried Radio Smack yet, but kinda doubt it. I aquired a 58 free, that just needs a new xlr connector piece to be installed, and figured if I can find a source...

Man, I have seen some great looking layouts in this forum, of studios and the dimension plans. What do you guys use, and what do you recommend that is good & inexpensive! We are starting a new building that is 24'x48' and need to finish our studio plans. Thanks, Sponge Bob

Here's the deal. I am going into a new project studio biz venture with a partner, and have a couple of good vocal mics, but I really need a couple of "Great Performers" to cover my bases, but not kill the bank yet. I have $2,000 U.S. to blow on mics period, as we are opening up without much...

I am trying to get more info on the AKG 414. It seems that there are quite a few differences in model #'s and I'm not finding out any answers as to what it all means. If anyone could point me in the right dirrection, that would be great. I am trying to make my last few purchases in LDM's (for...

Can I put my old blackface units in an angled slant rack without harming them or their performance in any way? The rack I have is an incredible custom built cherry rack for a new studio install, but the slant is more than 45 degrees. I also thought of putting a DAT machine in as well if its not...

Anyone know about the trident series 24 mixer, or its mic pre's? I might have found a console at a good price, and it's cheaper than buying a whole rack of vintage pre's. Thanks, Sponge Bob

Anyone have any experience with this board? I have any oportunity to possibly check one out for purchase, but want some insight. I have the Topaz, but am looking to upgrade to a higher level pro analog board. I am also looking at some affordable (gulp) used Trident boards. Hard to find any...

Anyone got any comments about the EV N/D 457A mic? I just aquired one, but can't seem to find any info on them!?! Are they OK for live vocal apps? How do they compare to an old trusty 58? Thanx for the help, Sponge Bob

I have grown unsatisfied with my acoustics live sound. I have a Fishman Prefix Pro in a Martin, and it sounds very clear, but very "cold". Has anyone got a trick up their sleve as how to warm the signal up? Could I get a Tube Pre (like an Art MP? LR Baggs) and run from the Fishman, into...

Howdy, Anyone know where I can find some aluminum cases for a very good price? I need to find some nice cases (like euarocases) for some mics, and some video gear. I have seen some very nice aluminum cases out there, and these kind of cases would be perfect for when I do field/live work. Gotta...
