what are some differences between these two microphones and if you would choose one why would you choose it?

Hay yews guise -

Like a lot of you, I am a newbie at some things and an old hand at others. My question du jour is about large vs small diameter condenser mic's; when would I best use one style, and when the other? I am operating on the cheap; the mic's in question are the SP B1's vs C4's.

I had the hardest time finding a vert bar to suit my needs with my LDCs, having enough clearance between the two mounting posts to run them head to head. .Below is a modification to the Shure a27m vert bar that will allow plenty of clearance.

Hi,

My next recording will be ethno-acoustic band. Except upright bass and (maybe) one violin, all instruments are (steel strings) with strong on upper mid/high freq. and lot of hard alternate picking. Comparable in some way with mandolins.

The BLUE Baby Bottle and an ADK A-51TC Tube condenser mics.

I think either would be pretty sweet. My only thought right now is that the ADK being a tube mic paired with my Brick pre's (also tube) may be just a little too colorful to effective on a variety of sources.

Hi.. Is the Behringer B1 worth the purchase? I have a friend who happens to have this mic and its recording seems fine for home users. Should i judge LDC's by sensitivity? Like they say that good mixers are nothing without a good mic, but when money's the pullback factor, is B-1 "buyable"?

Ok, before I launch into my question, I want to let you guys know that I did read the AT4033 vs AT4040 thread, and tried to find as much info that was already posted before starting a new thread... I don't want to waste time re-debating, but I have a specific question.

I'm looking to buy a nice ldc mic in the $2000 range for multiple uses(male or female vocals, acoustic guitar, drums, piano, electric guitar, room mic...). Right now my mic collection consists of:
AKG C1000
AKG D112
Audio-Technica ATM25
Audio-Technica 3035
RODE NT-2
Royer R-121
Sennheiser E609
Sennheiser MD421(3)

I bought my first condensor mic a couple weeks ago, and while I haven't had much time on it yet, one thing I have noticed is that I seem to have to crank up the gain on the pre in order to get any real level. Hoping I can find some answers here as to whether the issue is with the mic or the pre.

Hi everyone

Can I use tube mic with tube mic preamp ?

For example Numann M149 with Avalon vt-737 tube preamp...
