Hello Recordings.org

My name is Viktor Reddersen, and I am new to this forum and to the world of different mics as well.

I got an AKG C34 from a closed studio last week. Now; I don't know a lot about microphones, since I'm "just" working as a radio journalist. But anyway I would like to ask you, what kind of microphone I just got.

Hi all
I just bought an AKG C426 -I couldn't help myself! I've been lusting after one of these for such a long time.

I got an AKG C-34 today (although I might have to return it as the pattern box is faulty) and I'm absolutely gob-smacked by it. I expected it to be good, but it's really wonderful. Another thing is that the diaphragms are in perfect condition (one thing that I'm always concerned about with old mics). I expected this to sound like old 451s, but the sound is very different.
