Footnote:

As the market for big studios has collapsed over the past decade, I've seen quite a few mic lockers that would make you weep. I mean shelves and shelves of the most precious vintage models just gathering hypothetical dust. Many hundreds of thousands of dollars of mics that no one has a real use for, but that the owner can't bear to part with. There must be dozens of studios around the world that had a couple of hits in the 70's or 80's, went out and bought an SSL, a bunch of M49's and C12's, gumball and pinball machines... I suppose these will eventually mostly wind up on Ebay.

I think my ears are ready for a new mic, yes?

i know theres more than 13 people who are registered for these forums with mics. bump

I think there was a reason that it stopped at ....13. Maybe no one wants to carry it past that particular #. Maybe it's just that the others looked at these and felt embarassed that "all" they had was some silly DPA's... :roll:

SCOOOOORE!!!!

Snagged an RCA 44B, great cosmetic shape, unknown working condition, with what appears to the original 2 conductor (button) connector/cable for under $270!!!

Man, am I one HAPPY fella!!!

Gonna' look up how to re-wire for XLR and balance the thing... if it looks like too much of a PITA to get working, it'll still probably worth it to send to Wes at AEA isn't it?

Been searching for one of these dudes' for like 3 years... that I could afford. WOW!!!

Any ball park idea what Wes charges to completely refurb a 44B?

Hey MadMax..........
Where I rent equipment. They get new ribbon put in mic's at..........................................
Talking Dog Transducer Company, He performs Mods on Pre's and Ribbon mic's. I would hate to say what I thought it would cost. It's not cheap, I'm sure you no. I can find out more info if needed.

I got the use of a AEA R44C for the next 5 days!!!!!! SWEET
Along with a A-Designs MP-1 . Also a Buzz ARC1.1 that I'm going to try.
Going to Nastyville to pick them up Saturday.

Just a suggestion: could we also include what we tend to record - I think that would make this thread even more useful... :)

As for me, I work with about 40% classical, 30% jazz, 30% rock... I have included my most common usage - I'd love to have suggestions for uses I don't have listed!

AKG C414TLII x2: vox, overheads, stereo
AT 8533 x3 (clip-on mic): horns, toms
AT 4049 x2: stereo
AT 4051 x2: stereo
3035: ?
Earthworks QTC-1 (omnis, matched pair): stereo
Earthworks SRO (omni): center mic in Decca tree
Earthworks SR71 x2: stereo, guitar amps
Beyer M500N: piano spot mic
EV RE20: kick
Crown PZM6D: inside piano lid (closed)
Neumann U87 x2 (from the 70's): solo vox, choirs
Neumann SM69 (from the 70's also - stereo mic): stereo, choirs
Neumann KM84: acoustic guitar, strings
Neumann KM184: acoustic guitar, strings
Shure SM58 x4: live solo vocal
Shure SM57 x2: anything!
Shure BETA 87 (wireless): live lead vocal
Shure BETA 52: kick
Shure BETA 56: toms, snare, trombone

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.

2 more 193s

many...many...many more.

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

Cheers -
