We haven't talked about Milab around here much. Has anyone had the opportunity to test these? I'm curious...

The Milab VIP-50 is nothing less than a true classic. A favourite among world class artists and producers - simply one of the most sophisticated vocal recording microphones ever made.

And the moral of the story:

In business, and especially in the music business, watch your back (front, sides, middle, hell, everything!).

Hi,

I picked up a ccouple of Milabs VM-44s on a hunch (for a price I couldn't refuse). I've heard of them, but never met anyone who's used them. They're small diaphragm interchangable capsule condensers. I have the cardiods.

Anyone play with them?

Just bought two of those - will get them next week. They are large diaphragm condenser with switchable characteristics and a rectangular capsule.

Does anyone know their sound?
What did you use them for?

Thanks, Christof

Hi,
has anyone of you vintage mic junkies used
the Pearl 8-ck? It's a swedish LD tube condenser
with a square diafragm, made sometime in the
early sixites. I can possibly buy one, but
I can probably not audition it beforehand...

Tankful for any input!

I'm trying to get an inexpensive kit for my home studio. I found a Pacific kit for about $299 but I will have to get a cymbal set too, like the Sabian B8 set for $180. I have a friend that has a Pearl Export kit with some Zildgian cymbals that he'll sell to me for $350. I want something that will tune well and sound good for recording.
