Hey guys,
I'm a long-time Sonic Studios taper, but as you can see from my other post a while back my set is malfunctioning and it doesn't seem possible to fix it.
I now have a few shows in the near future I'd like to tape (of the loud rock variety) so I wanted to get a few opinions on what to replace it with. I'm looking for something similar, namely:
-Stealth, glasses loops or mini alligator clips preferred for mounting
-Omni capsules, as flat a response as possible, high SPL and SNR capabilities
-Matched with a preamp with bass roll-off, selectable amplification and roll-off settings a plus, has to output through 1/8" as my deck is a PCM-M10
-I'd like to spend under $1000 all in if possible
I know Sound Professionals has a variety of setups, Church Audio, Core Sound is still out there...just don't know what the opinions are for a setup like this today (best quality/best bang for the buck/etc.) If you own the setup you're recommending or have collected tapes made with it, samples would be great. Here's an example of what I view as the prototypical Sonic Studios sound for rock, which was what got me to buy those mics back in the day:
