This is a list based on http://recording.org/pro-recording-forum/28744-whats-in-your-mic-cabinet.html topic (as of May 10th, 2007) of all the replies I could make out. I put the model numbers in EXACTLY as the posts read, so there may be duplicates and I'm sure I missed a couple. I had lots of questions about Mic choices, and this helped me put a picture together. Perhaps it'll help some of you. Here goes:

I see now. I didn't correlate "SP" with Studio Projects. I just thought it was part of the model number....
I did save the file, but I'm not going to keep it updated or anything. I just wanted an idea of some of the more popular models, plus I wanted to see how well used some of the MICS I'd been considering are.

man i appreciate the fact you put in alotta time on this but WTF??? i assume lower# is lower quality??? and this based on whose oppinions???? not wanting to rag on you dude but it dont mean shit... while good mic technique will get ya around on just about any mic it's really the right tool for what job...

Not exactly a bad list.

As I understand it, he looked at all the mics listed in the mic closet sticky. As you say, that means everyone who frequents the board, but it seems to have worked for his purposes. My guess is that at the low price range and high price range things are all over the map. In the mid range the popular mics really are pretty darn good if not necessarily the best.
I wanted a list for me personally of which mics are out there in
I wanted a list for me personally of which mics are out there in studios. This is a list of mics from RO users writing in to say what was in their mic locker. It has absolutely nothing to do with quality, only quantaty. Nothing to do with how often they are used, just that they have been acquired by a studio.

now that you'v added all the mics.. What about adding the total
now that you'v added all the mics.. What about adding the total market value? MOhahahhaha!
