Or you guys could just order your M179's from War... he's a kool dude and a fellow hr.com member.

I’ll second that. I’ve done business with him. Great service and he will work with you on the prices.

Of all the friendly people here on the list, you are the last one I figured would have plugged this shameless commercial ;)

But you're actually right; I forgot about that in my frustration of not getting the mic from 8thstreet. Might have checked with Warren if I had remembered this before searching ebay. I will next time I need some stuff from the US of A.

Thanks for the hint, Don.

Stay cool,

You're welcome... and thank you for the RP comments.
 
Thanks again to timboZ, Dr.Grace and Adam P - I have seen the light!

That's definitely wrong... one of them should be in omni mode, the other in figure-of-8. Having both as figure-of-8 introduces phasing, as they are not correctly aligned in this case ;-)

Well no wonder I had no depth perception. I need to put one in cardioid, and angle it 90 degrees from the other, and I'll be able to see in MS stereovision. I may have to insert the proper decoder in my occipital cortex, however, unless I can figure out how to reverse the phase of light waves. Maybe polarizing filters in front of the mics set at a 180 degree phase angle from each other?

I think this is an illustration of "bipolar disorder".


Speaking of crazy, my M179 arrived DOA today. I'm not sure what 8th street will do about it.

OH Man!!! Dead on Arrival??
that really sux!!! And it especially sux even more, because I am waiting from my CAD179 to arrive from 8th street. I think you shouldn't have a problem. There customer service is good I'm sure.

You do have your phantom power turned on? :)
 
Duh! Yes, I tried it on two preamps and a mixer, all with phantom power turned on, just after verifying that another condenser mic worked fine.
 
That certainly sucks! Hopefully 8thstreet has at least one more in stock. They should replace it with no hassle, and send it to you free express mail to make up for lost time. I recently had a bad shipment from Musician's Friend. I reordered it and got them to send it express, and they emailed me a prepaid shipping label to return the bad one, and even correctly credited my account - truly a miracle.
 
anyone got a spare m179 they would want to part with? (except Dr. Grace) :)

I got one from 8th street but I want another.
 
Crazydoc, that is by far the craziest picture I've seen on the internet in quite some time....

But thanks for sharing!

War ;)

I got one of these mics in Australia...but it does not have the swithcable diaphragm thing...just the two side to side switches....anyone know what model that one is, because it doesn't say on mine and I didn't get any instructions.

You possibly got the M177, which is a fixed cardioid pattern, where the M179 is variable pattern.
 
Just as an update, I finally received a replacement for the M179 I bought from 8thstreet that was DOA. This one seems to work!
