I am considering expanding my mike locker with a Neumann USM-69i. Anyone have experiences with this mike?

Aslo, does this mike need a special external power supply?

thanks,

Steven

On stage, in-studio, non-vocal apps...

Any reports/comments/opinion appreciated...

This may belong in the Advanced Mic Techniques forum, but as I'm one of Harvey's students, I thought I'd ask here.

Our band is talking about climbing out of my basement studio, leaving our close-mic'd electric stuff behind and going acoustic for a bit.

Neumann came out with a re-issue of the U67 in 1991. How does it compare sonically to the original U67?

These mics have been recommended to me by a few people that I trust, but I've been too lazy to find one to get my ears on. Does anyone have an impression of this mic that they'd like to share? :)

Reslo ribbon mics (made in UK) thumbs up or down? know any specs or other info?

Hi,
I recently saw a live session of Steve Earle/Del McCoury, and was curious as to what type of mic was used? Also, was this the same type of setup used to record "The Mountain" CD?
Thanks

I've just recieved a book that microphone fanatics might be interesed in:
the "Microphone Data 2001" book from Rycote.
It is 952 pages! of current production mics.
Kind of like having every manufacturer's cut sheets in one place. It was compiled using data prodived by mfg's, so the content varies. But at least it is fun in it's overwhelmingness. .

I cant seem to come up with much info on this mic.
I'm considering buying it for the studio, yet the price is making me a bit suspicious.

Asuming the mic is in good condition is there anybody who can tell me more about it.

I had a U67 that I sold. Would that be close
to discribing this mic?
