Hello, guys! Anybody knows of filtering technique of Rock vocals in 60's..70's+? I mean vocals of Beatles, Blondie, Quatro, ZZTop, LedZep, early AC/DC and similar. What types of filters were used: LPF/HPF/.., secret comb filtering, phase related filtering,..? Wikipedia tells that Mr. Martin used an 'advanced filtering technique' of vocal recording. What is it?

howdy!
ok...so my friend's dad offered to give me his Shure Vocal master PA setup for free. .i've never heard of these, but i guess it was pretty common back in the old days. (i'm pretty sure it's discontinued). but anyway, i was checkin it out and it seems to be all tube and kinda looks more like an old guitar head than a PA.

I've been having a hell of a time trying to find any info on vintage recording gear commonly used. Maybe some knowledgeable folks here can offer some insight.
In particular I'm curious about the equipment used and the engineering behind the rock recordings of the 60's and 70's.

Does anyone know what company made this particular type of music stand, or have you ever seen one like this? http://www.wizardsworkplace.com/ray/music%20stand2.jpg

I'm trying to find what company used to make these stands, and I believe they were around sometime in the late 50's, 60's and 70's.[/url]

Would it be acceptable to use two Beyer M160's in an ORTRF configuration to record a small guitar group or chamber group? This is the only matched set of mics I have and was wondering if they would be completely useless in this environment. I am saving for a set of Schoeps but it will be some time before that money gets saved up.
