Anyone know of a good source of mic clips?
« on: March 29, 2010, 09:21:01 PM »
I need more condensers, small and large diaphragm, and would like some variable-controlled comparisons if anyone knows of some

There have to be some out there, but they're proving a little illusive to me

Acoustic guitars and vocals being the target instruments.

Recommendations also taken, if you have any. My only requirements are decent transient response and a clean, non-metallic (or minimally so) sounding top end (the big problem with my current sole condenser - a rode NT1A - this leaves a lot of ground, so go nuts

Oh, I'd like a switchable polar pattern too, but its not essential.

Oh, and steer clear of Gear Sluts.

Thanks

Why?

Are they like The Gear Page; talking about how straps affect tone and whatnot?

I've just got a Rode M3 which is nice, not as detailed as the NT1 which I had but not as harsh top end and better on acoustic guitar.

Thanks Tom, I'll look into that one.
