there is a place here in town that rents equipment and they have ONE SP mic. the guy couldn't even tell me what model it is("the one without multiple patterns"...B1? maybe even C1?) BUT its only like $10 or so to rent it for a week so i'm thinking about trying it out.
i just love test drives. lol
 
Neither the C-1 nor the B-1 have mutiple patterns.

Probably a B-2.
But why not rent a couple other mike's with the B-2 so that u can compare them with something.

Yeah... good idea. Rent an AT4050, KSM44, etc, and compare them with the SP mic.

PS... Studio Projects doesn't make a B2, you must mean the B3. :)
 
Your right, i was confused because they also have a Tube B series mike and i thought that was the TB-3

I'm thinking half-and-half instead of non-dairy creamer this time around.


I'll let you know how it goes.

Studio Projects makes two Tube mic's... the TB1 (B series) and the T3 (C series).

mikeyc222, it's most likely the B1 or C1. Anyway, it sounds like fun -- let everyone know how it works out.

i think they are pretty limited as to what mics they have. i'm suprised that they actually have a SP mic at all but i will see if i can get a few others for comparison. if it is a B1 and i like what i hear i'll probably end up buying one as i need a decent "budget" vocal mic to add to my pitiful mic collection...everyone has to start somewhere.
 
Yo mikey, welcome to the board, and (almost) everyone's mic drawer looked pitiful once! Fear not, for you have chosen well. I have a very few high end mics, and some good cheap ones. There are many good cheap mics, but Studio Projects will compete realistically against any of the competition at their price point, bang for buck. I use B-1 and C-3. I confess, the B-1 gets beat out by more expensive mics, but is a versatile learning tool that performs well as a pair. The C-1 is a good enough main vocal mic that it sees use. Lots of debate has been done here, with semantics fights, over how a budget mic "holds its own" against a $2000-$5000 mic, or doesn't. For some songs, a cheaper mic often sounds better, because it's the right mic in the right place at the right moment. What you have to do, as a would-be recording artist, is get a good solid, cheap mic or 2, and *make* them sound good. Shure SM57 and the B-1 are no-brainers, to learn about dynamics and condensers. Best of luck-Richie
