The MM-HLSC-1 Appreciation Thread
« on: October 01, 2007, 08:21:10 PM »
The SP-CMC-8's (AT943's) may now officially collect dust.  I am very happy with the results of these mics that I just purchased.

Someone wanted a sample:

Lineage: MM-HLSC-1 (9' on SP T-bar w/windscreens) > ST-9100 > R-09 (16/44) > Cool Edit Pro (Normalize to -1 dB > MP3 for the sample

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HH2NXE37

Thanks to Arni for sending me his samples that helped in my decision.  I was debating over these or the SP-CMC-4 low sens.

Don't let the CMC-8's collect dust. Sell them to me.  ;D They might not sound as nice as your new Sennheisers, but they'll be quite an improvement over my ECM-719.  :-[

Great stuff!! Samples sounds awesome, real clear and great clarity.

I can't show my appreciation just yet as I'm yet to tape with them, but I'll be taping next friday with them for the first time since I got them.

Can't wait to see what results I get (Hopefully, I'll pull a cracker!)  ;D


Thanks for the samples, appreciated very much.


P.S. Just wondering, what kind of venue was it? Small club/pub gig, arena, etc... Also, what was your position in the venue? thanks!

i am so happy with these mics, too.
using them in smaller clubs for metal/hardcore shows.
needed a long time to find the right mics for this needs (bass resistance etc.)

here's a sample:

UNEARTH (came out good, but vocals were pretty quite): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=R80QHT0T

only thing is: not first choice for stealthing, a bit too big in my eyes ... but up to now i didnt attract attention to security guys.
Stealth Setup(s):

NEW ONE:
Microphone Madness HLSC-1 > iRiver H120 + Rockbox > USB > WaveLab > Audio-CD / FLAC

OLD ONE:
Core Sound Low Cost Binaurals + Low Sensivity Option > 9V Battery Box > iRiver H120 + Rockbox > USB > WaveLab > Audio-CD / FLAC

Outdoors with no cover, about 35 feet from the stage, DFC.  The mix position was further back behind a big tree, so I was hesitant on going back that far.  I was in the sweet spot as far as I was concerned. I walked around during the prior band's set to gauge things.

what is the difference between the mm-HLSC-1  and the mm-HLSC -2, sorry if it is silly and easy?

How are they compared to DPA 4022 cardoids regardless of stealth capability?

Someone (???) needs to replace the builtin mics in the Edirol R09 (or Samson H2) with these mics (and include a 2.2 or 4.7k mod).  That would be cool!

Please DO NOT mail me with tech questions.  I will try to answer in the forums when I get a chance.  Thanks.

No differance at all except that the hlsc-1 comes with the shure clips, and thats straight from Microphone madness's mouth.
