Really, hyper-cardioid caps for the C-4's? If that's true, it's great news!

Hey guys,  HP Caps will come end of 1st Q 2005. C4's are back in stock after a 7 week dry spell, so those who want them, they can get them.

We are working on some SD Valve mics so we have been busy. We have also come up with some pretty innexpensive electret SD mics, but not sure we want to go there as they are very innexpensive. We do not want to get mixed up with too much confusion with all the different series of SD mics, but we think we will bring this new electret out as a B4. Sold in single lots instead of pairs.

Any comments or suggestions from you guys are always appreciated, especially since it is you guys that buy them....  :)



I am interested in electrets.  I'm currently using AT853.  Anything comparable to this (or better) is interesting to me.  Also, I'm interested in buying the bodies + capsules separately from the phantom power stuff.  I need something with "three wire" power though.  The best bet might be to sell mics with a standard 3-wire connector, like mini XLR.  That way people could use phantom adaptors, a battery box made by you, or their own box.

Pre/ADC: Presonus Firepod & Firebox, DMIC20(x2), UA5(poorly-modded, AD8620+AD8512opamps), VX440
Recorders: Edirol R4, R09, IBM X24 laptop, NJB3(x2), HiMD(x2), MD(1).

The new electrets will also be battery powered and run comfortably on AA batteries for hundreds and hundreds of hours. They can also be powered by phantom power. Will this not work for you?

Yeah, that sounds great, as long as they are battery powered.

Good news on the HC caps, Alan.  Any hints on pricing at all? 

Thanks! +T

We think they will retail for $125.00 for the set, but we will not know until they are done for sure....

Couple sets of C4's available on ebay right now, bidding at about $160 per set.  Not associated with the auctions, just looks like a good deal.

That sounds like a great deal.  Seems like not too long ago you couldn't pick up even an acceptable pair of mics of less than $800.  Now you can put together a pretty darn good entire rig for that.
