I also scored a pair of shotgun caps for them.
Does anyone recognize these? can you guys/gals tell me ab00t them?

Just what I was wondering ???

Am I misreading this? What more info do you want?
-
Congratulations - what about them do you need an ID on?
-
He wants us to ID the shotgun capsules. My guess he has a pair of ck-9 capsules. CK68 and ck69 capsules come in 2 pieces and are well labeled. Hopefully, he'll upload a picture so we can help him.

Nice. Some more AKG's headed to Portland.
-
Nice those look like
;) :P
-
super stealthy
-
Ill upload some pics as soon as I get home guys. basically I was just wondering if anyone has opinions of these etc.
-
do those guns work w/ the 480 bodies?

that I don't know. hopefully team akg will know. I assume they do though, bc the guy that gave them to me (as a set) said he used to run them at dead shows. Pics coming soon

99% sure they don't work with the 480's.
I do know they are made for the 451's. & will fit & work on the 460's with the added adapter.
T+ for a very nice score! They look to be in great shape.

i would be interested in those guns if you werent >:D

where would one find the adaptor? thanks for all the responces. Basically before I got my rig and stuff, this guy let me borrow these to mess around with. they each came with the individual phantom power boxes that ran with batteries and then ran 1/8 cable into my m1. at some show, I was using them, and one of the channels wasnt working as it should, I assumed one of the mics were fd up. I kinda set them aside and forgot ab00t them. earlier today, I tried them with my v3, and both channels ran fine. I havnt seen the guy bassically since he let me borrow them, hopefully Ill see him one of these days.

From looking at the pic, it would appear you already have the adapter (A60M reducing ring).
If not, they are still available from AKG, but they don't have many left.

how much are they (a60m) ?
When I got mine they were about $70 each with tax and all (new old stock). I think they had some "refurbs" or something for $50-ish a while back. Check AKG's website - they might still be there. It's not exactly a high demand part...

Timbo,
Sounds like you're ready to join Team AKG! >:D

do you guys sleep?
actually i'm trying to get an akg rig going for those times i record in "dives" and dont want to risk getting my mg setup ruined in the process. :P
in all seriousness though, im really intrigued with the 460 series, not so much with the 480s.
eventually i want to run ck1/2/3x > mk46 > jw mod c460b. i'll need some luck to find the mk46 cables and caps and probably have to sell the v3 to fascilitate the upgrade.
I honestly think the mod 460s are *comparable* to dpas in many ways. not as good, but damn close, for a lot cheaper investment. i cant afford a set of dpas, so im thinking these are the next best thing, with interchangable caps ta boot.
really? i think mod460's and 480's sounds damn identical/close!

mod460 has much much better midrange IMO & I was a HUGE fan of the 480's.
-
that mod460 is a sweet sounding mic.
ditto! :djsmilie:
-
Agreed Bean. Timbo is definitely in denial. >:D
Tim, sell me those 460s! ;D
-
Im really excited to run these akg cards at the brewery with the sweet set up spot!
whats the best place for shotguns? I was thinking best in outdoors about 75 plus feet away from the stage. what about 10 feet from stage in a bar >:D
-
yes! more AKG's in Ptown! :) They look just like the ones mine old and solid as rocks! , but be sure you pickup some Hypers - you'll reallllly appreciate having them at most of the venues in town.

i imagine you could use guns almost anywhere as long as theyre pointed at the dead center of each stack, ala what i do w/ my hypers in most small/shitty clubs/bars :)
-
thats what I do with my hypers! ;D

so you think that's a better technique than regular DIN or something like that?
-
they look really nice from that picture - quite the arsenal you have now!!
-

absolutely, what makes a good taper IMO is setting up configs unique to each venue, after all, they are ALL different :)
dont get me wrong, i run DIN/DINa almost exclusively, but ALOT i alter the configs depending on each situation and play around w/ what i did in past experiences and most of the time, i walk away w/ SMOKIN tapes
I mean, whats the point of setting up stricyly DIN in a venue that isnt made for DIN?
alot of the time, i keep the 90 degree angle and alter spacing, narrower ala 4-6 inches for smaller places and maybe 7-8 inches for bigger venues, also altering the angle in most venues just a tad bit can help out tremendously
unless im in a 'normal' venue ala a threatre/outside where i am centered betweeen the stacks/in a great spot/etc, i run just plain ole DIN/DINa, but that doesnt happen often for me, so i alter accordingly, in small places pointing toward each stack, which mostly ends up being DIN-ish anyway
-
lol, I started paying attention to the rig listings in people's signatures, and it seems like these akg ck61s are pretty popular >:D
