Hello everyone!
I am working on a university project concerning the marketing of microphones. Since HomeRecording.com is one of the top places to reach people who have excessive expertize in this field, I have decided to address certain questions to anyone who feels competent to answer them. I sincerely hope you can oblige to my request, and provide help which will be very much appreciated. The questions are as follows:
1) How expensive, on average, are the microphones that you use? Which price range do you have in mind for the next microphone you will buy?
2) Do you have any Vintage/Retro microphones?
- If no: Have you ever considered buying a vintage microphone? Why?
- If yes: Why have you bought a Vintage/Retro microphone?
3) Do you think vintage microphones live up to the original mic? What do you think is better, what worse than the original (e.g. sound, reliability, technology, design)
4) How much would you be willing to pay for an exact replica of a microphone that was produced in the 1950s, which has a current second hand market price of about $ 12 000?
How much would you be willing to pay for a modern replica, a reissue of such a microphone, which would include latest technology?
5) Do you in general use your microphones to record different instruments and vocals or do you have always have one particular microphone for each instrument you record?
Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer my questions!
Best wishes,
Alex Krausler
