Hello-
I was looking to add an extra an inexpensave pair of mics to to my collection for picking up room sound/ ambience. any thoughts? Should I get a pair of mics? Mabey a stereo mic or some PZM's?

Thanks all!
 
hi,

i used a sennheiser MD421 with great succes as a room mic for drums. I've also heard great things about sennheiser MD21 mics when used as room or ambient mics. those md21's are omni mics so the bass should be more accurate on those when doing distant micing. i'd love to get a pair.

I love to throw a crappy American D22 omni up for a room mic, especially on stuff that I might want to make a little grundgy in the mix later on...

Love the sound of that mic in the room...

I like the Behringer ECM-800's for that purpose.

That's all I've ever used them for, room mic on drums but with decent results...especially for like $40!

Checkout the Behringer B5.
