Topic: SOUND PROFESSIONAL MICS

[pepper]

I have a cheap pair of binaural mics which do just fine but have heard so much about sound professionals stuff.A while ago someone said that these mics( SEE LINK BELOW) are really good,has anyone got a pair and could give a positive comment or two.I mainly record loud rock/metal shows and wondered how these would cope in that kind of situation.Is it possible that someone could put up a sample of something they have recorded using these mics,id be very grateful. :)I dont plan on buying a new battery box as i personally dont think its worth spending more money than i really want to,after all its the mics that are most important isnt it.?

I've got a set of CMC-2s, with the SP-SPSB-1 battery box (but I haven't used the roll-off - have found no need yet).

The Judas Priest and Scorpions samples on the following page were recorded using the CMC-2s, SP-SPSB-1 and Sony MZ-NH1 Hi-MD unit (in Hi-SP mode).

The other samples are from Core Sound CSBs - the Dare and Asia samples without bass roll-off, the Young Heart Attack sample WITH bass roll-off.

I've got two sets of mics - the CMC-2s and a set of Core Sounds' CSBs.  So far, I much prefer the CMC-2s - especially for loud rock gigs.  A very clear sound (compare to the CSBs) and can handle loudness AND bass.  For the price, they are great.

Note - I had a problem at the YHA gig - whilst getting levels early on with the support act, I managed to lose my little rotating mic clips - so when it came to tape the show, I just had to wrap the mic ends around my spectacles.  Not ideal!!  So I had no idea really where the mics were pointing.  The room acoustics didn't help much either - very small, very loud!  Great gig though.

No - sorry Humbug.  They were supporting Young Heart Attack on Monday in London, but I saw YHA in Cardiff on Tuesday.

You'll get better sound from the mics by using a battery box.
