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?

Hey David,

There are dual diaphrammed, and single
diaphrammed cardiod condensor mics. What are the advantages of two?

I've seen Schoeps single diaphram mics that have mechanically variable patterns, so I know pattern selection isn't the only one.

(I posted this question at Stephen Pauls forum, but since that place is closed now I bring it over here.)

Hey everybody, we have a new moderator for Advanced Mic Techniques and Theory. David Bock of Sounddelux Microphones will be here soon to tell you what he's been up to and what he's doing now.

Welcome aboard David! :D

Does anyone know those mics? Small condensers for snare... are they good? Does it substitute the SM57? :)

Well, I'm trying to plan my electronics projects for the summer, and I have a nagging impulse to build some high quality mic preamp's. I've been using console pre's on my A&H or whatever I can borrow at the time, but I want something good. I'm thinking clear and clean would serve me best, but maybe some flavor too.

I have been using a matched pair of AKG 451's with cardoid capsules for a number of years now. A few days ago one of them was damaged beyond repair. I am just about to replace them and would very much welcome your imput on what you think makes great overheads and why.

Thanks

Simon

What you guys think about this setup:
2 Marshall MXL 603 (overheads)
1 Oktawa MK 012 (bottom snare)
1 RE 20 (kick)
1 SM57 (top snare)
3 Sennheiser 604 (toms)
1 Marshall MXL 2001 (vox)
With this setup I should spend around... 1200 and I still have a spare MXL 2001... comments? Ideas?

Fletcher, maybe you can shed some light on this for me. I'd like to know what the differences may be between the telefunken elam 251 and the lawson and sounddelux "replicas" I'm not looking for a "which one sounds better" comparison but what might some of the electrical or mechanical differences be. are these new ones exact copies ? are they improved ? ya know, what gives?
