Does anyone know how the marshal 2001 and 2003 compare to the RODE NT1? the frequency response looks flatter on the marshals (I can't afford to many mics, so somthing w/ and uncolored sound is preferable) but the RODE is a classic, and I havn't heard much about the marshals.

Does anyone know anything about this mic. Is it worth picking up at $699.00 Cnd. Give me the dirt if you could. Thanks

Hi Fletcher, and everyone,

Anyone know what the differences are between these two mics?
I know the 193 is cardioid only and the U87 is multi.
What are the differences/similarities in design (I assume single v. dual diaphragm? capsule? electronics?) and sonic signature.

Thanks in advance...

While trying to track down some 30 year old Telefunken parts, I stumbled across a German pro audio site. In addition to the Neumann and Brauner mics, they also offered a brand I have never heard of here in the US - Horch. They only seem to offer one model the Horch RM2, and its priced up in Brauner territory - +/- $3grand or so. Anybody ever seen or heard one of these things?

I'm a drummer and I'm also planning to build my home studio. So, what you guys think about this set?
2 Marshall MXL 2001 (overheads, vocals...)
2 Marshall MXL 603S (hi-hats and snare)
and two opptions:
a CAD KitTrick with 4 mics (one for the bass drum)
or a Sennheiser E604 3 Pack and a AKG D112 or a Shure SM something-I-forgot :)?

This is a little too expensive for the "Sleeper" thread, but they are damn cheap compared to other tube Neumanns. Can anyone explain what these are exactly and how they compare to the more well known U series Neumanns.

Hi all. First off, this forum rocks, and I'm adding to my newbie knowledge with every thread I read.

I'm learning to use Cubase VST on my mac at home. I currently have a cheapo desktop mic that I'm using while I practice using vst instruments and some audio snippets to create loop based music.

[Whoops, somehow my post was truncated. I'll add my question below.]

Due to a long expected "reorganization" at Universal, I will become free of any need to set an alarm clock as of June 30. The good news is that after 6 years I qualify for a small "buyout" that should allow me to add to the gear collection. I have held off on purchasing a large diaphragm condensor because I did not want to settle for something less than what I really wanted.

Hi, I love this forum and have appreciated a lot of the advice presented here. I have a very elementary problem with getting quality sound when Micing my amplifier and am not sure the reason for it. I am recording to HD, my signal chain is (in reverse order) SB Live Platinum, Digitech

Any suggestions on Micing a harmonica for a solo?
