A442 Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 I am on a very limited budget being a broke ass musician (trumpet player)I just want to use my MD to record practice sessions and occasional live concerts (orchestras and solo recitals)I know this is a very cheap mic, but the specs look decent. I was reading through some other posts and the specs look alot like the panasonic sepcs posted by a440.EBAY LINK:MIC - EBAY LINK Yes i ripped your name a440, but figured since so many people play/orchestras play at 442 it would be more approporate.

vocals_jure Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 since no one has posted yet. I would have to say yes it is for sure a decent mic if the specs are correct. It might not have the widest stereo spread but would be a great mic to start with. For louder concerts you might want to use a battery box.PeaceScottand p.s i think the A442 is quite clever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is like 9v right? so is there a way to use a 9v battery and make one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veezhun Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 (edited) if i am not mistaken, that looks very close the free mic i got with my aiwa cassette recorder.. if that is what it is, its a decent mic for concerts and practice sessions.. once the levels of the concert start getting too loud, this mic has problems.. never tried or have the battery box option yet..:edited to add picturecheers Edited July 2, 2005 by veezhun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 I should have copyrighted all frequencies. It's not the mic that comes with a cassette, it's some homemade mic. I have one, and it's a decent mic, though the case transmits a lot of handling noise, so it's best to place it somewhere and not touch it while recording.
