Reverb are having a pretty nice mic giveaway:

https://reverb.com/contests/studio-staples-mic-giveaway

I entered.

I've entered a few (including this one) and that e-mail has never arrived to confirm...I don't know?

Check your SPAM filter. I got the subscription confirmation e-mail right away.

I think it uses one of those email list things and my email screws it up with special characters. I've had the problem with mailing lists a lot...oh well haha

Well, if I win , I'll give you one of the mics that's not the MD441.

So now I am thinking it is an AKG with a different cover on it...

And they did use shures in the UK...and least on The Wheeltappers & Shunters Club...

And Bernard Manning* thinks Eivind is Alvin is Elvin...



*: nope, don't think he is funny

Edit: man, LG is a typo machine

You should start rockin' that look when you're on the ring mod.

I almost posted this yesterday:

Also, some German punk microphones:

Fairport->Sennheiser MD421 or some kind of copy?

German Punk:

• first singer mic->shure 545 unidyne III
  sunglasses two mic closeup dude->AKG d224e and something else (philips/norelco maybe)?
  • other two singers in that clip->AKG d3xx (like d320?) and it looks like a beyer dynamic or electro-voice and a Burns guitar!

Thanks for that clip...hadn't seen it. German punk was dramatic haha.

Yeah, that's what they looked like to me, but what mic was the French announcer using?

You can blame lordgalvar for this:

Haha! You did hear me. You did care. I think those missing persons were all using AKG.

I don't know what that French guy is using (and I missed it when I first watched the video haha). My guess would be Grundig or something like that or a rebranded lanier/Japanese microphone. It looks like ronettes where repackaged all the time too. Geloso might be another to look at.

Some of those ball mics from earlier in the thread are here (ronettes/Dutch): https://odemar.home.xs4all.nl/microphon ... e-mics.htm

Anothe r good page related to the last I hadn't seen: https://odemar.home.xs4all.nl/microphones/eur-mics.htm

"Soundball"

Also, those Geloso mics are cute.

That announcer mic looks like something from a PA or dictating recorder to me haha...which is shy I went Japanese or Grundig or something

Yo, I have something very similar to that mic, an AKG D90S, bought in '95. After a bit of googling though I think what she's using is a D330 or D320?

That cymbal placement is awesome, gonna try to persuade our drummer to do that. He's really the microphone guy, got like an old RCA PB-something, an AKG C414, lotsa ribbon mics...

Fuck the mics.

Where can I get me some o' them threads?
