I guess I've figured it out: the crossed circles are ceiling lights, right? And the dashed lines must be the power cords. I should have become an architect ;-)

I'd probably suggest among these: A Royer R121 or R122, Sennheiser MD421, Blue Kiwi, Brauner Phantom C.

Fletcher once posted if he had to only have 16 mics then he'd get:

1) Brauner VM-1 KHE (best mic I've ever experienced)
2) Brauner VM-1 KHE (would like a pair)
3) Soundelux E-47 (close enough to an original U-47, but without the
worries)
4) Soundelux Elux-251 (close enough to an original ELAM, less expensive)
5) Soundelux iFET 7 (extremely versatile lg. diaphragm FET condenser)
6) Josephson Series 4 (awesome sm. diaphragm FET condenser)
7) Josephson Series 4 (would like a pair)
8) Royer SF-12 (great stereo ribbon mic)
6) Royer R-121 (great mono ribbon mic)
7) Royer R-122 (has a different texture than the 121)
9) Shure SM-7 (Great utility mic)
10) Shure SM-57 (Good utility mic)
11) Shure SM-57 (Good utility mic)
12) Shure SM-58 (Good utility mic)
13) Shure SM-58 (Good utility mic)
14) Sennheiser MD-421 (Good utility mic)
15) Sennheiser MD-421 (Good utility mic)
16) Sennheiser MD-421 (Good utility mic)

That's it. That particular plan shows the electrical lay-out, switches, plugs, and lighting.
 
I'm surprised that DJL didn't bring this up, but have you considered buying a kick-ass kick mic? Maybe an AKG D12?

Your not going to try and ruin this thread too... by tryig to get me to engage in an argument with you... are you?

Are you still sore? lol

No. It's just that you seem to be in love with kick drum mics. Just surprised you didn't recommend one. Why is that an indication that I'm still sore? Or that I was ever sore? :confused:

Because, I did recommend my favorite kick drum mic. :D

That's not my favorite kick drum mic. :D

No, and I never did before.

If anyone's confused here, I don't blame you. DJL keeps editing things out that I respond to and adding things so that I never really get a chance to respond. I'm not trying to start an argument here, but it's hard for me to think you're not doing it intentionally to make me look bad. Are you?

No, but I will if you want me too.

So, what do you recommend he should add to his mic locker... or are you just in this thread because you saw I posted here?

Neither of us are reading each other's posts very well. I recommended that he get a kick drum mic like the D12.

Is that what you have, an AKG D12?

I knew you were going to say this. I almost addressed this in the previous post, but I didn't want to ratchet up the level of argumentativeness. No, I don't have one. My recommendation was that he buy a kick drum mic, and, since he has a big ol' budget, that he get what many pros (pros that I respect) consider a really nice kick drum mic: the D12. I have an AT Pro 25, which, while beating an SM57, does not give me the sound I am after. I would like to someday get a D12, but that's not in the budget right now; I have a record to get mastered and manufactured.

DJL, I don't want to keep this pissing match up. I propose a cease fire. If that means you don't respond to my posts and vice versa, then so be it. I think what we're doing now is a waste of time for everyone.

I don't like the AKG D12......

But we can still be friends, right?

Peace. :)
 
Well for what its worth, a D12 is on my long list, but not my short list of mics to obtain.

I have heard, although I haven't tried it yet because my current room sux for drums, is that the SM7 is a great choice for kick. It has a high SPL, and nice response in the low end, and being a dynamic, less of a proximity effect; all of those making the SM7 a good choice for kick.
I have 2 of them.

SM7, eh? I never heard that on kick, but it might be great.

Sure, why not. All our fights are really stupid anyway.

All hail DJL!:D

Really? That would be good news because I had been considering a mid-high level dynamic mic for vocals, and the RE20 was attractive because it is a noted kick mic as well. Let us know if the SM7 is indeed good on kick. That would be very cool.
 
Uh . . . guys . . . no.


With all due respect, I'm assuming you heard wrong.

The sm-7 is not good for kick.

Okay, let's change a few words around here -- the kick is not good for the SM-7 . . . might be a more accurate way to put it. The kind of stress it puts on the capsule (from the airblasts) will stretch it over time, and eventually it won't be the same mic. This will happen over a period of years, so don't worry to much if you've done it a few times -- just stop it (or stick a wind-screen in front of it) for now.


Not to mention that there's really nothing about it, sonically, that makes it any better of a match for that chore than an SM-57, really -- which I actually prefer over the sm7 on kick by a pretty wide margin, anyway.

I think people just say that it's good on kick because they're lumping it in with the other broadcast / voiceover mics like the Senheiser and the Electrovoice -- which do happen to be great choices for that app.

Cheers!
