Unless your band has a full time sound guy at shows(that knows what he is doing), I have found condenser mics way too much trouble in a live setting. A good Dynamic is is usually a lot less "feedbacky" -----Original Message----- From: William Walker [mailto:billwalker@baymoon.com] Sent: Friday, June 15, 2007 10:16 AM To: 'Os'; Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: RE: [OT] mic recommendations Both Mic's you mentioned are excellent choices, the Rode being perhaps the warmer more forgiving sounding of the two and the Audio technical being the more precise, with less coloration. I own a 4050 which has two capsules and thus a bit more versatility than the 4040. But unless you are going to use a figure 8 pattern, which I have all of twice, you probably don't need to spend the extra cash. I think AT make great mikes, I also have a hand held condenser they no longer make called a 4055. Mine was actually used at the 42 grammy awards, which means there is a good possibility that either Michael Bolton or Celine Dion's spit and DNA are all over this puppy...sweet.... I have found the 4055 an excellent mike for guitar amps as is the 4050. The 4050 sounds fantastic on acoustic guitars. I'll use it with a small condenser instead of the more typical two small condenser array. The 4050 really makes small body guitars sound huge.

I'm looking at getting a mid-range condenser mic, for general purpose use but definitely for female vocals, cello and (to a lesser extent) guitar amps. >From reading reviews, I'm currently considering a Audio Technica 4040 or a Rode NT1000. Any suggestions welcome! cheers, os. -- os@collective.co.uk http://www.collective.co.uk/ http://www.myspace.com/darkroomtheband
