It was an outside show, but the stage had a wooden roof. The mic was placed approximately 2 meter behind the kit and about 2 meter up.

Hi, I just want to share with you all what a cheap ribbon mic can do. I put a cheap ribbon mic (t.bonbe rb500) at the back of the stage (behind the drummer) when mixing a small live show here in Sweden yesterday. I always record everything, so put up this mic to be used for ambience for the...

You're absolutely correct, on both items!! *lol*

The below picture shows Dolly Parton singing in front of a microphone. I'd like to know the name/model of that microphone. Anybody, please?

I'll take a second look at them. They sure are reasonable priced :)

Yeah, cars s-ck in that way... cars are not an investment :( I really fine mic will probably hold its value over time (if you pick the right one). But I can't afford better mics than I listed previously (400 euro).

Interesting read... and I've forgot about the KM183. They are however over my budget.

Ok, you're probably right. Thanks.

Thanks for the input so far... Just to summarize: AT4022 (electret) in favor to MC910 because its higher spl tolerance and lower noise floor. AKG SE300B+CK92 (electret) no opinions?!? Thanks.

Hmm... That's what I've heard too. So, if I go for the AT4022 mic, it will sooner or later lose its pre-charged electret... That's why I was hoping people here would speak good about MC910 (true condenser).

I'm a bit confused about the difference between a true condenser and an electret condenser. Only MC910 is said to be a true condenser of these three mics. Will that matter in my case or in any other case? Thanks.

Thanks for you input. For my application, the lower SPL handling would probably not be an issue (recording chamber music)... but still a good point... I have heard not so good things about the Oktavas. MKH 8020, DPA and so on are way out of my league (can spend 400 euros, the most).

Reaper !!!

Hi, I plan to buy a pair of SDCs for use in a decca tree configuration (2 SDCs + 1 LDC). I live in Europe, so I mostly find http://www.thomann.de/index.html?partner_id=97926 to be cheapest store around. Which one of the three mics below would you buy and why? Thanks. 1) AT-4022 (399 euro)...

Thanks. I knew about the problem with resonant frequency. That's why I use different glass thicknesses (8 and 6 mm). I probably put the thicker window on the live-room side. Again, thanks for your replies. /Jonas

Thanks for your reply Innovations. I use double layer gypsum on both sides (same thickness). I was just curious why the control side should have the thickest glass... Maybe it doesn't matter on which side I install the thickest window glass when both walls are symmetric.

I found the reference where I read that the thickest glass should be on the control rome side: http://www.saecollege.de/reference_material/pages/Windows.htm My only question is why? (does anybody know??) Thanks.

Where should the thickest glass go? I read somewhere (can't remember where) that the thickest glass should be at the control room side. Is this correct? I'd have though it would be the other way around due to louder sound levels in the live room. The glass is 8 mm (~1/3") respectively 6 mm...

Thanks a lot guys... I was going for the RODE mic, but not after Rossi's reply. I'll try out the C3 mic instead (it is also cheaper:-). I also think KSM44 is a fine mic, but it is way too expensive. /Jonas

Ok, thanks... Is the C3 mic good and will it work for M/S recording?
