What Mic?

[Madrocker]

Ok im going to see greenday soon so I want a mic to record the gig.

I need a decent mic that will cope with the loud nature of gigs, BUT I dont want to pay much as its only a mic.

Cheers dave

I'd go with the Core-Sound Low-Cost BINAURAL mics:

At $75, you simply cannot beat them! But don't worry about getting the $15 low-sensitivity option, as you can add the Radio Shack Volume Attenuator to the end of the mics for only $8. This way, you can have low-sens mics when you need them and regular-sens when you need that. Also, make sure you set your recorder to an appropriate manual level (I'd say no more than 20/30).

Or get the Sound Professionals BMC-2 with clips and the attenuator. Search eBay for soundpro99, they sometimes sell them cheaply there.

That's a good idea, A440. I've heard some very good things from the SP-BMC-2s, and they run for around $30 on eBay when the SoundPro guys list them. I guess the reason I immediately suggested Core-Sound's LCB is because I use them and have had nothing but wonderful results. I also prefer the Core-Sound mounting/clips over the SoundPro ones, although this is bound to change when SP offers their goosenoose mic mounting option in a collar-length design. I'll be getting a nice pair of cardioids with that! :-)

that's quite some promise, 'as good as CS mics' especially as they themselves brag about being better than all the rest because of some 'special' treatment

and that's also quite a steep price compared to all the other hand-made stereo mics on eBay for example... guess you will have to be a bit more convincing, as established, tested and reliable SoundPro mics are avialable for half the price

and please, if you want to sell some mics, put up a "FS: hand-made mics, as good as CS"-topic in the classifieds section and don't double/triple-post this same post in all threads on mics
