Hi, I just bought a Beyerdynamic m260n (70s version, no filter one); the seller declare it was working properly but when I've plugged (with its own cable and transformer) into my Tascam us-1641, didn't give any signal, or at least any audible one, any of you have experienced the same problems?

I'm looking for a low cost premp to drive my Beyer M260 this is a bit above what I would like to pay but looks very interesting. I live so far off the beaten path I can't try stuff out which sucks. Any other suggestions? Are the PreSonus BlueTube DP Stereo Dual Path Microphone/Instrument Preamp With 12AX7 Tube I like the price break.

Hi all, I am in the market for a new flavor mic and have wanted to get a ribbon mic. This is my hobby studio, I just write my own music, record it, and occasionally record my friends band for demos. Nothing major. But I would like to get a ribbon for vocals and possibly Micing some Pipes, from reading here I'm guessing the ribbon gives kind of more of a bluesy vocal sound.

Anybody used this mic? i've been told it can handle pretty hi spl's so i was thinking of using it for close Micing horns/snare and stuff like that.
i wonder how it would compare to an md421?
Thanks.

hi,

thanks for any suggestions
