OK! Once the end of the month bills are paid I'm getting 2!!!!!!!!

Awesome!! :cool:
 
Damn you, gobblefisher, why are you encouraging my G.A.S.? Now I'm gonna have to get one. I hope you sleep well at night, you bastard.

:D

EDITED TO ADD: There, you smeghead, are you happy? I just bought one. The first thing I'll record with it is me saying "gobblefisher is an enabler."
 
gobblefisher, I gave you rep points, but your post is gonna cost me money, so I might want them back........naw keep them, they are yours to have.

Aww, gee...thanks...
 
Will matched pairs be offered? If so, I'd be all over that like stink on a monkey.
 
I must say it looked alot like my tube in the picture, so I bought one to see how I measure up. :D

Thanks gobble! +rep :)
 
Looks cool!
I can't wait for the MSH-1C either.
I plan on buying a few of each microphone.

No time soon, I can't produce enough of them to match, so I'd have to keep swapping capsules until I got a match :o and that's assuming the tube and transistor didn't vary too much.

I don't think it would make a great stereo pair anyway, it's not that detailed, instead, try a pair of 1As along with it, in a Decca tree sort of arrangement.
 
I just bought 2 MSH-1A's (no need for a matched pair) as well as the new MSH-4. I'll post up some music as soon as I recieve them. I can't believe I got 3 condenser mic's for under a hundred bucks!

Ms, are u planning to build any other mics?

No, this is just about it. I will have a version of the MSH-1A for mobile use (low voltage/low current/plug-in power), but that is probably of less interest here. Really this is just about all I can manage to produce . . .
 
So does this mic operate similar to a tube mic? I'm just curious as to how this tube gets enough power, or does it run kinda like starved plate.

A 6418 tube is rated at 15-30V plate and 10mA filament current. The MSH-4 manages the 15V plate OK, so it is not starved plate. I could only squeeze out about 8mA filament current, so it's a little hungry . . . but that served my goal of building a mic that had some nice second-order harmonic distortion (please note the 2% THD!).

It is definitely an unusual microphone . . .
 
how about a multi pattern mic???

im gonna order soon.
