Saw a ad for this in the new Guitar Player magazine. Anyone know anything about it . it includes two condenser mics and a aset of headphones . might be a good thing for my future home studio as i don't have tons of money to spend on mics etc and you can always use an extra set of phones. anyone have any info ?????
 
Someone out there must be familiar with this product????
 
Do you have the model# of the A.T. mics included in this package?
 
AT STUDIO Kit Pack

I have no idea what this kit would cost ... but the freq response alarms me a little. These mics won't reproduce anything under 100hz ... so, you won't get real deep bass with them. The fact that they only go up to 18kHz, I could live with, however. I would expect this kit to be pretty inexpensive given the spec sheet of this mic. A place to start, sure ... but I would for sure be itching to upgrade within a month or so of buying them. That's just my opinion, though.

If you're looking for a stereo mic set up to start out with, I would suggest (without knowing your budget) either a pair of Shure SM81 or Oktava MC012. If you like AT mics ... I started out with a pair of AT Pro37R and was very happy with them ... that is until I got the Oktavas. :)
I prefer the Oktavas, mainly because of the flexibility you have for future upgrades (i.e M1 large diaphragm capsule, etc.) ... but the quality control at this company is not very consistent ... so definitely listen to them before you buy. That's a given no matter what mic you buy, though.

Good Luck!

I bought the Studio Kitpack when i pick up my Yamaha MD8 the other day. The cost was $275 canadian , so it would be about half that in US funds :-( ( maybe we should become the next state ) When I recorded some vocals first with the Audio Technica mic and then with my 57 and also with my 58 there was a definate improvement with the AT . And my acoustic sounded better with the AT than the 57 as well.. now i know all you guys will say "ya but this model of condenser or that model of condenser is better , but for the price and for someone like myself who is doin this recording thing strictly for fun and didn't want to spend a fortune on stuff i think they are great mics....
