How do you run a mic through a pre-amp?
I ran one through the dishwasher once, because... well, because it was dirty. I mean... you know, it was giving me a dirty, gritty sound.
Someone said: "Clean up your chain". HA!!! I thought they were pulling mine!
So, I did the best I could and... well... washed the mic.

I HOPE this wasn't a mistake?

If its phantom, how do you know its really there?

Lick the contacts

 

[noisedude]

yeah if they taste kinda ghostly, it's there alright. alternatively just die.

MJ - on your advice i ran my entire collection through the washing machine today. i found to clean that grit up properly you need soap and fabric conditioner.

Does anyone else here find that their Manley Vari-mu tends to run so hot that their Edison wax cylinders melt during tracking?

Should this happen?

 

[noisedude]

i stopped using my edison cos the phantom wasn't a steady 48V.
