Chance, (and anyone else with an opinion), since I'm new to ribbon mikes, do you have any kind of rough guide as to what purposes each of these mikes would best be suited to?
I'm looking for a mike that wil be nice on female vocals(peaks in the 4-8khz range), and one that will be a good all round on accoustic instruments.
 
Is there a deadline in site for this? How can we be officially added?
 
Actually today was the deadline, if you could get back to me with a total amount of mics for everyone, I'll see what I can do. I have posted this on the PSW proaudio forum ans it seems that all of the interest that I got feed back on was there. all the info is on the pro sound web website in the "whatever works" section get back to me ASAP read all the posts and you will see all the details. in "whatever works"- -"Terry your thoughts on ribbon mics"
Chance (I hope this is a PM )

Would have been helpful to know the deadline before rather than after the fact.

Huh? What are you talking about? You started a lengthy thread here regarding this potential group purchase, then basically vanished. Like most here, I assumed that it had simply fallen apart, and that no group purchase was ever going to happen.

If you indeed still have plans to pull together a group purchase, please post the details so that the many people who have followed and responded to this thread can take part in it.

Thanks.
 
Things are getting kind of wierd. I am getting requests and then some are backing out. This is very difficult because the price depends on the quantity.
I am planning to front most of the payment. I am also goint to record every ones request and base the order on that. if someone backs out, it will hurt everyone else on this forum. Tomorrow I will take final count from posts on this forum (not E-mail) I am doing this so the orders will be made publicly. If someone backs down, I won't be the only one to take the heat and cover the cost of their mics. Right now there is about 40 confirmed orders.
 
I was all set to take part in this early on, but it seems to have gotten almost cloak and dagger. I'm pretty confused now about the whole process (it would have been nice if Chance let us in on the RP posts earlier also)...so I think I'll bow out. Seemed like a great idea and I wish everyone luck with their mics once they get them. And, Chance...thanks for the opportunity. If only we had a more advance warning, I'm sure people would have saved up and brought your group purchase to a much higher level. Maybe next time. :)
 
Chance - seems you and I posted at the same time. Thanks for clearing this up for me. Since you're taking a tally from these posts, please mark me down for one HRM-8. Can I get away with ordering only one mic? Unfortunately, this close after the holidays, money's tight. If you ever do this again in the future, I'll take more (and I'm sure others will jump on also).Thanks again for your work and effort.

Here's my public order, quoted from my email to you. Yes, I am serious about it (to respond to your email question).

I'm interested in two HRM 14B, two HRM 10, two each HRM 5G, 5S and 12S, for a total of 10 mics, assuming the shipping and handling costs can be brought down to a reasonable level - a total of about $500 plus S&H. I'd be willing to shell out $100 or so for this, but not a whole lot more. If it's more, let me know so I can change the order.
 
LOL I guess you can't get more public than that. I just recieved something that might help. I have been a member of NAMM (Not Available Maybe in May) for over 30 years and NAMM members get shipping discounts with FedUP and DHL. When I get the total weight to size ratio I will contact them and will post. The company in China usually ship via TNT express.
 
I'd like to make a suggestions...perhaps you could post a "confirmation" list showing the quantities and a final cost for the mics? It might help to keep the bailing out you're concerned with.

Early on, I posted interest in the HRM-14...I'd like to know what the going rate is for it...BTW...still interested.
 
It is all going to depend on the total quantity of everything.
