Anyone know?

I used to be able to get one for $89 at guitar center/musician's screwoff (friend), but now they're going @ $99

I've noticed this over the past six months or so and it's quite annoying, any idea why?

Hi I was looking for a solid kick mic at a good price, hows the BETA 52 for a possible kick drum mic?
1. Has anyone used it and liked it?
2. Is it applicable for recording other instruments other than the kick drum?

Thanks

So I'm recording a full length album of my band. Were a guitar, drums and vocal duo. we play on 1969 Slingerland drums, 20 inch kick, 12 inch tom, 16 inch floor tom, 14 inch acrolite Ludwig snane. Remo Powerstroke heads all around. The guitar amp is a Silvertone with a 1484 head and Silvertone solid state 100 watt cab with 2 12's.

Ill gladly send em out for the cost of shipping only..

what this conversion kit does is provide enough vertical clearance with the Shure a27m to allow any two microphones(LDC or otherwise) to be run head to head for Blumlein, mid-side, XY, etc.. as it stands there isn't a commercial product availabile that allows such clearance.

Ok guys...so I have a budget of around 300$ for a pair of deccent tom/allaround mics...what do you think is better?
Shure beta56 or Audix D2? they are both in the same price range...but I have no expirince with anyone of them!...
is anyone here exprinced with recording with anyone of them or both?
thanks a lot! :lol:
noam from israel

which do you think is better backed by technical explination and cherry on top being your ears opinion.

also can anyone explain to me the benefits of the beta releases over the standard mics? also, tech followed by audible difference plzz

i recently stumbled upon 2 Shure 849's, a friend of mine was cleaning out his churches extra closets and found a set of them and gave them to me. i'm having some trouble though finding out any information on the 849. i know the general stuff...assuming they are unidirectional cardoid condensers.

Argghh...

One of the Shure 545 (Unidyne III, predecessor and very similar build to SM57) mics I recently acquired has a broken coil-

Hi all, have just bought 3 Shure 545 unidyne III via ebay... just not sure what model they are (545s, 545d etc), and what connector they will have on them (XLR or 4pin?)... also if anyone can tell me what era they may have come from, would be much appreciated. Pic is below..

thanks!

anybody knows this mic, or the 315? I don't know how they compare with best known ribbons, olds or news. thanks for any info.
