What's in your mic cabinet?

Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2007 10:36 pm

The mics I regularly use (a combination of mine and my recording buddy):

2 x DPA 4006TL transformerless omnis (stereo kit)
2 x DPA 4015 wide cardioids (stereo kit)
2 x DPA 4023 cardioids (stereo kit)
3 x Schoeps CCM4Lg cardioids (a matched pair and another)
3 x Schoeps CCM8Lg bidirectionals (a matched pair and another)
1 x Royer SF24 active stereo ribbon microphone

We record acoustic music and find the mics listed above to be very good for this application.

Well...it's an old, but revived thread. I'll kick in for giggles here.

Some of the mics are a friend's but I have ready access to any of them.

Schoeps:

CMC 6 (6 bodies)
MK2s (2 caps)
MK4 (2 caps)
MK 21 (2 caps)

Gefell:

M296 (2)
M930 (2)

Neumann:
TLM 193 (2)
KM184 (2)
TLM 103

AKG:
C391B (2 - both with omni caps)

Soundelux:
U195

Beyer:
M130 (2)
M160

Rode:
K2
NT4

AT:
4040 (2)

Oktava:
MK012

Audix:
M1290 (omni)(2)
SCX-25 (2)
SCX-1 (2)
OM2 - (2)

Shure:
SM57 (3)
SM58 (1)
KSM141 (2)

Here are some mics that are on my short list:

More KSM141s
Earthworks QTC30
1 more full round of Schoeps (a tad expensive, so I'll put this at the bottom of the list)
2 more 193s
MBHO mics (just a few)
many...many...many more.

Of course, the above list is primarily geared towards classical and some jazz.

Cheers -

J.
