Topic: anyone used sennheiser e614 before?

[save]

well i haven't had any luck getting my psp-2 sold so i've been thinking of picking up some cheap mics to run w/ them until i get them sold since there are a few shows coming up i'd like to tape.  some of the other mics i've looked at are studio projects c4's, sennheiser e614, and the audix m1290.  the audix's are the mics i'd like to get, but for no more taping that i do they might be a little more than what i want to spend.  any suggestions?

lol....just something i'm thinking about.  i have a little extra cash left over after buying some new toys so i figured if i could scrap together a cheap rig to record shows that i know won't get taped around here it might be worth it.  it all really depends on how my  next interview goes...if i get accepted i'll be out of taping for about 6 months solid for training. i'll have to see how monday goes, hopefully i'll accepted and then i won't have a choice but to put the money towards something i really need, like a new car

i hear you bro, i just got the job i had been interviewing for for about a month. it was a huge hassle and they interview so many damn people. kept narrowing it down and then doing more interview

i get to buy a v3 and the rest of my cash goes on tools for work, and that is gonna be how it goes for about 6 months untill i can buy the 2-3K worth of tools i need. BUT work pays fr 50%, il just have to wait till jan1 to get it back. so im trying to spend as much as possible at the moment, so i can get 50% back this jan1, and then next jan1 i will get a ton back

i hear the c4s are incredible for the money.  the audix micros have a similiar sound to the 480s.  i dont know much about the senns.  and don't rule out some oktavas.  you could find a pair for $99 from someone.  I think they're great for the money, but ill be upgrading to some audix's pretty soon.

i ran the audix scx-one's for awhile and really liked them and i've really liked everything i've heard from the audix m1290's.  if i do pick up some mics again, they'll probably be the m1290's.

My vote for the C4s. I just heard some stuff and was blown away to find a $320 pair (including shockmounts and windscreens) could sound that good.

I'm very curious about the e614s too.  They are Electret, so my gut would say no, but I have deceided that I'm only trusting my ears from this point on.  If you test-fly a set, I'd like to hear it.
