Damned if I do
Last night I recorded a new song. There are two different acoustics on it and each one was mic'ed with my MSH-4. http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=5995

One thing I noticed, though, is while moving the mic around it would sometimes produce a high-pitched tone akin to feedback. It only lasted a few seconds but it happened more than once. Is that normal?

Next question - has the MSH-4 been discontinued? I don't see it on your website anymore.
 
I emailed them a week ago about the same thing,the discontinued question. They said their parts were out of stock until the new year. I'll have to wait for mine. :(
 
That sound is microphonics, when the tube is bumped it rings a bit. It's normal for these tubes, especially in the weensy cases I stick them in. AT uses an internal shockmount to hold the tube, but if you whack the AT3060 good, it rings a little too.

There is nothing on my site right now as I am closed for the holidays :)

Ah, well that explains the noise. :cool:

But thanks to Google I was able to look at the mic page, and the MSH-4 is absent. So you didn't really answer my second question, now did you? :p :D

It will be back next year.

Cool. I plan to recommend it. It's a very good mic IMO.

I think the mic has personality in a musical sense. Quirks too, but hey, don't we all.
 
I lent one of my MSH-4 to a local rap/hiphop group so they could record their rehearsals for their live show. They FREAKED over what the mic easily gave them.
