Stealth MICs that are good enough for Reg. Use?
« on: December 06, 2003, 07:02:46 PM »
hello and thanks for the help so far... settling towards the Nomad as my recordering choice, with a DENECKE AD-20 pre-amp,
and was wondering, in all of the many differnet mini mics available, are there any that you would feel good using to record any rock show?
I want to get a stealh set for some shows, but was hoping to get a set I could put up a stand and get a quality recording.. Thanks

lots of stealth mics are good for regular use, what is your price range?

I run at933s on a stand, and I think they're great.  Gonna stealth with them in about two weeks as well. :)

I've never used the 933's but I've got some very respectable 853r (actual AT brand) tapes.

people run all sorts of stealthable mics:
AT831, AT853, AT933, etc.
DPA 402X, 406X
schoeps actives
neumann actives
audix micros
adk tl's

all of these would produce quality sound, but you get what you pay for

i haven't heard any of your tapes yet, but i have some of kevin davis' tapes.  Im sure your tapes rock too.  Do you think you could hook me up with that ftp login for some carbon leaf?  I know its been awhile but id like to get really familiar with their stuff before i see them on the 26th.  Thanks

My ftp is shut down for now.  In fact, the hard drive that holds all the CL shows (like 150 gigs now) is not even in the computer. ;)

The Archive seems to have a pretty fat pipe lately.  I think every show I've taped is up there (1/25/03 is a pretty nice tape of mine).

BTW, you taping on the 26th?  I'll probably see ya there.

if you guys had 500-700 to spend on mics that you could stealth with, and run reg, what would they be....
I'll dig on ebay and see what I can find...


not to be to invasive, but are you guys talking about the BAltimre CL shows?  you guys from around Balt?
Just a lifelong resident, and interested in any advice about recording local venues...soory to chang thread topics...

Between 500-600?  Not really sure.  Most people would probably say a pair of DPA 4060s, but I prefer having directional mics...  I'd probably go with the at933s that I currently have and spend a little more on the pre/recorder.  

As for the CL shows, yep, I'll be at the Baltimore shows.  As well as the Virginia shows, and maybe the Raleigh show. ;)  Pulled first row for the show in Richmond. :)

i agree with Mr. Kelly, directional mics will be more versatile for you

looking for the AT933's... many other types of Audio Technica mics, but no 933's ...
found 1 pic,and they look just right..

edit: on AT's site found 'em, they are the ES933's right?  WHich variety y'all use?
Where did you purchase those mics?

thanks for the newbie love..........
