Sterling Audio ST51 - "Excellent for Recording Vocals Until..."
I used this mic to record vocals and it initially gave a nice quality sound that was warm and clear. After a few months of using the mic, it started making a crackling and static sound that would come and go intermittently. I thought it might have …
Oktava MK-219 - "What a find."
I use this for voice over, live performance and studio applications. I did not compare the MK-219 with other microphones. I found this with stand and cable at a Goodwill Store. I was surprised when I saw it. I saw the price and thought somebody was k…
Tannoy TM1 - "I was surprised"
My friend is a Music Goup Rep, he brought one of these over to test it. I grabbed a U87 off the shelf as our reference and plugged them both into an XL48 pre. We ran the AES outs into a hi res converter and headphone amp. First off, it's not a U8…
Audio-Technica AE5400 - "A product to fight Neumann KMS and Shure KSMs...and to win against them"
We experienced approximately 3-5db more gain before feedback from the AE5400, in comparison to both the SM58 and the Neumann KMS 104. The 350-500 Hz dib it has is very useful, because it's a frequency the live mixer always pulls anyway and it take…

Neumann TLM 103 - "Okay but look around"
I borrowed a pair of these to record an acoustic piano at my studio. They looked great, nice and light and easy to place. There seemed to be something missing at the top end. Sure you can eq to hell and back but I like my source sound to be awesome.…
