two quick questions...
1. i read an earlier post on "condenser" microphones and it appeared that some people said that any sound source (even if it exceeds the max SPL on the given mic) cannot damage the mic or it's capsule. is that accurate???
2. i've been looking at purchasing a range of microphones for recording acoustic guitars (AT models, M-Audio, Royer, AKG, etc) and was wondering at what point do i, or will i, need to purchase a decent pre amp?
i read a post where someone stated that some mics "require" a preamp to sound good. is that also an accurate statement? i didn't know some mics "need" a pre amp in order to sound better. i know the pre amp will boost the overall level, but if im buying a AT 4047 tube mic, you would think that would already sound good on its own???
