Newbie Mic question's
« on: October 20, 2003, 11:28:30 AM »
I am looking to get a taping rig and have been struggling with which mics to get.  I have a recording of a show with AKGs 681's that sounds great. But I can't find any info on them anywhere except that they are an older model.  So a friend told me that the AKG 480's have a great sound too.  
Any info on these mics and which would be a better choice for concert recording would be helpful.  I am looking to run a DAP1 too.
Thanks!

My guess is that that was a type, and the mics you heard WERE 481's.  I think this came up a ciouple weeks ago as well.

i might disagree, i think theyre 461's....especially since where most of these sources are from ive been there, and d00d runs 461's>mp-2>snm-1>sony, but i dunno, what does that mean, maybe 461's, w/ modded bodies, or ,maybe 61 caps on a 480???i dunno, but i know the guy where most of these sources are coming from, and he runs 460's.... :P

From the tapes I've heard with these mics vs. others, I'd go with others.  Not that the AKG C1000S are bad (first mics I owned actually), just that others in the price range sound better (to me).

Depending on what you want to spend:

AT831s ($119 + batt box)
http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/category.cgi?category=120&item=SP-CMC-2&type=store

AT853s ($169 + batt box)
http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/category.cgi?category=120&item=SP-CMC-4&type=store

AT943s ($239 + batt box)
http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/category.cgi?category=120&item=SP-CMC-8&type=store

I used to run the AT831s and made some decent tapes with them.  blu666z has some great tapes from AT943s.
