asdf29 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hello,new here....I am looking for a 2nd Sony ECM-717 microphone. I have one, and love it. They are out discontinued. No luck at ebay.I have no problem with the sound quality I get from it. Can anyone recommend a similar mic?I mean, cheap (under $70). Small, clip-on style. Does NOT use a pre-amp (I don't even know what a pre-amp does). I am recording live music, not trying to be professional, so I don't need Edirol and $1000 mic's.

asdf29 Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 thanks for the info. Those mic's are a little big for me.The Sony ECM-717 is small, square and black. Clips on my shirt and I never have to think about it.If anyone knows where I can get another one, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 thanks for the info. Those mic's are a little big for me.The Sony ECM-717 is small, square and black. Clips on my shirt and I never have to think about it.If anyone knows where I can get another one, please let me know.I'm confused. Only the first one he mentioned seems big. The rest seem to fit your purposes--unless there's some reason it has to be square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I use these, the size of pencil erasers. It's not one but two--which lets you separate them for better stereo. http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/SP-BMC-2Get the extended warranty, because if you use them as much as I do, you'll wear them out.

asdf29 Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the replies. Yes Skogens, those Audio Technica's are my size. Sorry AbbyNormal, I failed to see the smaller ones!My thing is, I got my rig for recording myself reading...uh poetry... and I later experimented with recording a live band.The recording sounded GREAT to me. I have since recorded many times....love the sound I get from this Mic.a440, those Sound Professions look interesting. I prefer to stick to what I know, I guess. ....also, my recording technique has been to get in front where it's hot, directly in front of the speakers.I have heard recordings from $1000 mic's placed in the back of venues near the soundboard, and the recordings are BORING to me. I really like the raw sound I get.if you guys say the mic's mentioned in this thread are better, I'll take your word and buy a set in my price range.yow!

Not sure how replying on these posts works; rookie, but I have a ECM-717 that I took around the world years back. It's in mint condition. Don't use it anymore. You can email me at mattdubas at yahoo dot com. It's yours for $75. I'll ship it on my dime... Or give me a call. Seven seven three, five four zero, six eight seven five. Cheers!
