This will be the most expensive set of mics you can buy.  The seductress 460's they ought to call them...  >:D



Just when you are fat dumb and happy pulling perfectly good tapes with your C4's, suddenly your DIY digimod UA-5 > H120 isn't good enough any more.  You'll need a better preamp, and a 24 bit recorder.
For me it was the Earthworks... :happy: yes I got a great deal on the mics, and they are nice mics, but then I had to have the V3 and Mod R4 to go with them.  $2000 later... I'm hauling nice gear to the festival in a car worth less than the gear. :help:
Mics: Schoeps MK4 & CMC5's / Gefell M200's & M210's / ADK-TL / DPA4061's

Photo: Nikon D700's, 2.8 Zooms, and Zeiss primes

my setup is worth AT LEAST 5 times what my car is. Does that suggest a problem? Im happy as long as my car gets me from point A to point B, but my rig has got to sound AMAZING ;D
