I'm in the process of searching for a workhorse, multipattern tube mic to fill a sonic hole in my mic cabinet. The "hole" is in the low mids to mostly quality low end. In my search I've been torn between the classic 251, 67 and 47 sound characteristics. The uses will be the full range of male/female vocals, acoustic instruments and room mic. Not asking much right?
Hello guys!
I'm from the small country of Bulgaria and I need help from experts like you with identifying 2 vintage tube microphones that I've acquired recently.
I am always a sucker for cool, older microphones that critics say still have great mojo. I was interested in enhancing my inventory of acoustic instrument microphones (guitar, piano, drums, winds), and read some articles about the 1970s-90s era AKG C451E. I found a pair for a good price, and just got them today.
Hey guys, I'm working on a mix of my cover of "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder. I think the vocal might be a bit low in the mix and a bit too congested around 300-500k/not bright enough. I used my new Telefunken Elam 251 and for the price, I'm trying to make decisions about whether or not I should hold onto it or go with another vintage tube that suits my voice.
Hello from Spain. I'm new in this forum and a newbie into recording,
I'm starting to record using my Mac, Logic and Roland Quad Capture. Mainly I record electric guitars signal and midi stream. I have not used microphones before but USB mics.
I was cruising eBay this morning, just for fun, I did a search of vintage mics.
I came upon two that piqued my interest: One was a Telefunken TD33 Cardioid
I have a microphone - Crestwood Magictape, but I can't find any information about it. Any help will ... help.
Thank you.
Unless I'm completely stupid, which is a distinct possibility, I didn't see a forum specifically for this sort of thing, so I'm sticking it here.
I've got a few vintage dynamic microphones that require a special four prong connection at the mic. I've got one such working cable. This cable boils down to an unbalanced quarter inch plug.
Someone I know is selling a AKG D12e from the 60's/70's with the original box in great condition.
I don't know much about it since they aren't made anymore. Tell me everything and everything about them, what style they're for, reviews, critiques, ups/downs...everything and anything about this mic.
I've acquired a RCA 44 Jr. for my little home studio 8)

I sort of want to be versatile, but it's a nitch type of item,
so I'd prefer to matched to the era and style
this mic was made in 1940
...what where they plugging it into then?
