Beautiful recording! Thanks for the upload. I really look forward to hearing more recordings from these mics.

Sounds really nice, Matt.  +T

I look forward to hearing more recordings with these.  I'd be interested in hearing these in front of a pre we're all more familiar with (M148/V3/722/ACM671).  I wonder if they'll expand their line of caps?

edit:  This is a nice sounding venue.  Is it's primary function a concert hall?

This is actually a poor and boomy sounding room in my opinion. It helped a lot that I was so close. I will try and borrow a V2 for some future recordings but am really happy with the QuadMic with most mics I've tried with it.

Perhaps not my favorite band, but it is one truly good recording you pulled there Matt!

I take it you like your new Milabs?

Anyone interested in these or other Milab mics please contact me and I´ll help out.

It looks like they come stock with 3m cables....and the option of custom length.  I like that.

Does Milab offer these in matched pairs?  not that it's a necessity, just curious. 

Oh, and what's the going rate for a pair?  Sorry if this has already been covered.

Someone posted earlier a source for 30% the going rate. Looks like these run $929 each online , so a pair would be around $1300 I believe.

ahhh...missed that part.  Thanks, John.

Hi,

Matched pair can be had for a price premium of roughly 640usd...

Can´t say I can motivate that since they are very close in dB as standard.

Cables can be had in any length you like at a premium.
Those orders take two to three weeks to realize.

Standard mics are shipped within a couple of days.

The price of 1300usd is also roughly correct + shipping and paypalfees.

Any questions pm me please,
Thomas

On the other hand it isn´t too expensive to get a ps-2 and build the little driver pcb (52 by 12mm) into the box and put mini xlr on it instead to get less bulk.

Hey Matt, nice recording! I didn't know you were looking at new mics. They look sweet.

So how was it FOB? No stealthing required? No Erdheim police? Did you get the R Devils?

I put some pics up my 700 mod. Don't know if you had a chance to view them. Judging from the sound of these new mics of your's, the 700's might be getting a well deserved rest?

Give me a call if you get a chance. I remember you had some interest in my xtra CM1000. I might be moving it to ebay soon.

Here is the Rhythm Devil's from Vegoose for another example of a Milab recording:

For Phil&Trey, no FOB at the late night show but Mark himself was FOB with the rest of us at the Festival set.

After a few tracks, I gotta say that these mics are the real deal. I like the recording a lot.

[brn2rn]

Damn!
I might have to get myself a pair apart from just dealing to others.
I knew they would sound good but this is really awesome tapes matt have privided here.

Congrats Matt,
Thomas

matt, i think these sound GREAT!!! nice mids/low end for sure, and the vocals are surprisingly clear and present for being such a colored mic(at least on my playback)

kind of similar to the thump/low-end from a dpa 4011/402x IMO

what do ya'll think these sound like?

[taper420]

I'm really impressed with the sound of these. I love the overall clarity, and the bass is kick ass. These things are smooth like silk.
Matt's source has been synced up to the vegoose video webcast of phil and soon to be rhythm devils, up over on dime.
Allthough, it's only about 100 times better sound than the original webcast audio, so one wonders if all my syncing was worth it

According to Thomas, Milab's chief engineer says they rival dpa's.

No offense, but that is a pretty predictable answer. No one would really say that their own mics sound bad. I know one thing...My Pearl Mics are amazing.

The Wilco "Milab VM-44 Link" show sounds great - Congrats!!

Thanks to Teddy I'm looking forward to putting my Swedish, "built by hand" Pearl ELM-C mics and new sd722 into action in the near future...
