Don't need to have interchangeable caps. SD only. Won't be using them very much, so I'd really like to spend even less.
Thanks.

Ok. I found a matched pair for 426. Is that a good price? I was also thinking of the Audix 1290hc or 1245hc but can't find pricing. These will be more in the 700 range?

hmmm.. that might be a little high.. but they are great mics for the money...

actually I would put a vote in for the AKG 393s....used they pop up for around $400 and imo no mic in the sub $500 touches them...

If you want to get really cheap Superlux hypers if can find some place that will sell them to you.

John Kelly · « **Reply #7 on:** February 23, 2005, 05:54:07 PM »

In this price range nothing will touch the Audix m1290s, including the akg 390s.

cheaper than that actually...but caps don't work by themselves!

i have to admit, i run the audixes and i haven't been the happiest with them. mostly cuz of their lacking lowend. however, i was messing around the other day in post and discovered that if i boost the lowened just a little they sound unfugginbelievable. i might be keeping them a bit longer than i expected.

Frank at Cascade Media hooked me up when I needed to buy the caps. Give him a call.

I did nothing to my moe. recording and i think it sounds great, however, when i tape the local rock bands, the bass always seems to be lacking. ever since i've been boosting the lowend tho, holy awesomeness! i wonder if that'll be the case with any 40hz-20khz mic that i try. anyone wanna loan me some schoeps or some mg's?
