#microphones — Public Fediverse posts

I would really like to build two more U87 clones. There is a guy out there who has copied the original Neumann transformer perfectly, right down to the metallurgy of the core, and there is a woman who has perfectly cloned the original capsules. I found a guy in the UK who makes very high quality bodies that I used in my first build.

My Build 1 mics are VERY high quality, but Build 2 will be exactly as good as what Neumann was making in 1976 or so.

The old, saggy-ass elastic bands in the shock mount for my AKG C414 are beyond useless at this point. I recently tried to buy new ones at the local Long & McQuade but they had to do a “special order.” They subsequently phoned me to say the elastics are $19.99 each. So $45.18 all in.
For 2 elastic bands.
So that’s a no.

I see that one of those sketchy Ali Express sites has them for like 6 bucks.
I dunno.

Getting set up for another @mskierstenmusic #video shoot with our #puppeteers and a very special guest! This will be a first test for #recording individually mic'ed audio for 5 speakers simultaneously.

Kinda panic bought a whole bunch of #audio equipment in preparation, but for next time I need to track down a decent inexpensive preamp for dynamic #microphones. This time I'll have to denoise the audio in post.

I'm building and selling condenser mics now. This is a LDC (Large Diaphragm Condenser) using the classic Neumann KM84 amplifier circuit. All parts are sourced by me from high quality manufacturers.

This one is spoken for and I'm hoping I'll get another sale from a referral. It is shown next to a standard Sharpie.

I'm in the market for an upgrade for the Audio-Technica AT2020s I'm currently using as overheads. What would be a sensible upgrade option in the €500 price range for two mics? Aston Origins maybe?

Eddie Tonkoi “needed” a new microphone for the audiobook(s) he’s going to record. In his review of the Shure MV7+ he chose, he explains the problem he was trying to solve and how well the MV7+ meets the challenge.

My 16 yr old son and his band (they’re VERY good) have been writing original songs for about a year now.
They are immensely talented, & their songs are WELL beyond their years.

Now, they’ve started the immensely difficult task of trying to record them, & properly. And as talented as they are, they don’t know much about that part, & have been getting by with the gear they’ve got.

On their few first demos, they used shitty mics for the vocals that ARENT meant for vocals, & are trying to navigate post-effects, mixing, & ALL that fun stuff.

With this, I decided to make them a proper studio in my son’s room where they work.

So…I went out & bought them their own mic stand, pop filter, AT 2020 condenser mic, and two SM57 mics (because they sure as shit weren’t getting any of MY gear 😂).

Now, as far as vocals and mic’ing amps go, they’re good.
As far as mixing goes, they’ll find their way.

Had to APE TEST everything first though. 😂

#Microphones in studio.

I started the mic build for my friend. Everything went really well until I realized I was out of M2.5 screws to fasten the PCB. I know I *HAD* those screws at one time, but seem to have lost them when I moved out of my office at the makerspace. I ended up ordering another bag of them since I will be needing them.

Once those arrive I will wire the transformer, and then apply power and bias the FET. That is if we don't release the magic smoke,

Here's a little tease of a project I am working on. This is a mic I'm selling to a friend. I can make more if there's interest. It's basically a proto U87.

The transformer with the yellow label is from a mic manufacturer, and it's fairly pricey. The other larger transformer is identical in terms of electrical specs, it's just bigger and less expensive, which in this case is fine since it's going on a large diaphragm condenser body.

I had a fun night at work tonight. While the show was on, I got to unbox and add to inventory a buuuuunch of brand new #microphones!

- #DPA 4099s w/ piano mount
- DPA 4088 Cardiod headsets
- DPA 4066 Omni headsets
- #Neumann #KM184
- #Sennheiser #MD421
- #Shure #ULXD4 w/ #sm58 caps

We now have 8 channels of wireless mics to help better serve community groups. I'm very proud to be able to offer Broadway quality to our quests.

It's a real privilege and an honour to be a part of keeping that 122 year old #theatre running into the future.
