Hello!

i've been reading on user comments on the top microphones available today. i missing two particular contenders. has anyone had the chance to compare these with todays bests? (eg. ELA M 251, C12, U47, C800G etc):

-Brauner VM1 Klaus Heyne Edition (this one supposed to rock, and it has nothing to do with the original VM1)

-Brauner VMA

What to buy ?

Whats available and affordable.

RODE NT1A
Studio Projects B1
M-audio Luna

I desperately need a vocal mic. These are all that fit within my budget (i dont have one, I'm having to beg) . I have been using the NT1 and I'm happy with it.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone can share their experiences with Sanken mics on acoustic recordings? Thank you!

I like the 421+57 combo that i usually use, sometimes I add in a 414 on omni or figure8. I'd really like to get my hands on an RE20 or 27, I miss having that mic around.

I just bought a Sanken CU-44X microphone with it's
power unit(P-44X). I don't have the 4pin XLR cable.
Does anyone know anything about these mics? Seems like nobody uses them, just wondering if this is worth keeping? Meanwhile I have to find the right cable to try it out.

I am currently doing a project invovling violin right now and in past projects I was never happy with the violin sound I got. I have tried C451s but they always seem to have a harsh edge to them. The best I have come up with so far is using a 414 about 12" above the scroll angled towards the bridge. I would like to get that fat robust sound without the edge.

Has anybody heard of the mic company "Avlex/Superlux". (I think Avlex owns Superlux). I've been hearing about a kick mic called the Pro 218B that is getting some good reviews. I was thinking about adding one to my mic cabinet to supplement a D112/Beta 52 setup.

Just bought two of those - will get them next week. They are large diaphragm condenser with switchable characteristics and a rectangular capsule.

Does anyone know their sound?
What did you use them for?

Thanks, Christof
