Recording.org user's master Microphone list

Your Avatar
Submitted by Seedlings on

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.

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.
