Red5 Audio Microphones

Forums

I hope this doesn't break any forum rules. A band I am recording sent one of the members dads along to talk to me and play with some of my mics before he bought his own LD condensor.

I showed him the K2 and AT4033 I have which were in his price range (well the K2 was a bit out) but he has ended up going for a Red Audio RV15 valve mic (tube mic).

Low budget mic packages vs a few good mics

Forums

Hi,

Still on the low budget drum microphone quest. I would be happy enough with just a 4 mic setup - 2 OH's a bass and snare mic for live playing and practice recordings. I've narrowed it down to the following 3 choices. Prices including tax:

- Superlux 5 pack DRK-A3C2 :
bass,snare, 2 OHs and 1 tom plus 5 XLR cables & 1 clip for $424 Can

Mic servicing costs

Forums

Gentlemen
I'm interested to know if mic servicing is expensive, and how often it should be done. I buy a lot of mics second-hand, and I think it would be a good idea to have them inspected, and the diaphragms cleaned if necessary. I know some people say you should have this done every five years, and others say two years, but I suppose that depends on the amount of use.
