what are your favourite dynamic mics ?

I am trying to expand my dynamic mic collection...

what do you have ?

(I have a number of sm57, sm58, d12, d112, 441, beta57)

Hi,

To make a long story short... I was recently on a forum where someone stated that they were having problems getting a good sound recording vocals with a Shure sm57... a few replies offered different mic suggestions, but a few also suggested a better preamp...

Read a nice suggestion for recording a
guitar-combo (Twin Reverb) with an omni, determining the balance of direct & room
with the distance to the cabinet.

I guess a LD condenser in omni-mode could be suited but if we want to stick to a dynamic mic, which not too exotic types would be suited ?
I'm not familiar with omni dynamics.

Thanks,

At times, I'd like a less focused sound out of my acoustic guitar than the SRO's and NT1000 gives me.

Any suggestions for good quality dynamics that work well on steel string acoustics?

seems like some cad and sennh. mics are well liked.

(Sorry, I'm copying this from my post on another BBS *cough*cough* because I found out after I posted that some of the opinions from people I MOST wanted to hear had voluntarily left the BBS.)

We aquired (for free) a valley people 610 stereo compressor/expander from my parteners work (a cable tv distributor who was going to throw it, and a ton of soundproofing foam out) and I'm just curious what exactly an expander does.

Seems to be a pretty cool technology this new dynamic phantom powerd microphone.
has anyone had the opportunity to test this gizmo?
:)

:) Hey folks! Since you have a limit to the dynamic range of digital recording, and wanted to stay somewhat true to power and the relationship of various instruments and orchestra, same for POP and R&B etc. ...
how would you plot out the dynamic curve using a level of 50 to 55db spl as a reference?

i read in sound-on-sound the other day that the Maxtor Fluid dynamic bearing motors run hot and may require additional cooling. seeing how i just ordered and received two of these for my ANUS do i have reason to be concerned? has anybody else used Maxtor drives with this technology? the last thing i want is a hot ANUS. i've got a fairly large case coming for the build.

Looks like a very small windfall has come my way and the mic bug has bitten. Ribbon's are what I said I was going to get next...Sooooo...a
question(semi-directed to Nathan since I know he uses them)regarding Beyer Ribbons.
