Topic: Sonic Studios dsm6s ... Exiled?

[imjustchillin]

as kevin said earlier i use the dsm 6 s/l's w/ the pa-6lc3b roll off. i have been using them for a couple years now and have been very pleased with the results. the hrtf recording method is however very important to the sound. i (nerf) mine when on a stand and make sure they are at my ears when worn binaurally. i made the mistake of placing the glasses higher up on my head in the past w/ sketch results. produces a very thin sound. gave them a a 20" spread last week and liked that sound from a near blacony. i feel like i've learned about recording various rooms with these mic's. ready to add something like an smb-1 in the near future to tighten them up a bit. i'll post some more detailed pics of the nerf system this week. would be glad to supply some samples as well. peace all....Mel

i just picked a pair of these up for $200 from a good new yoker taper. i got a sweet deal cause he is moving into a new place and his wife is having a baby.

cant wait to test them out here next week.

im running the dsm6s/el models. cost about $650 new. the el version are Extra Low frequency. i record reggae only. the L's are the low frequency which doesnt cut the bass frequency quite as well as the el models.

I've always loved these and found that compared to the 4060s I owned the DSMs wern't as accurate but were more pleseant to listen too than the DPAs.  Mel a.k.a. imjustchillin owns over all other DSM tapers with his Dave Matthews Victor Steinbrueck Park Seattle, WA September 29th, 2002 DSM tape.  This show is one of the most amazing tapes I've ever heard, and I've heard some damn good tapes.

just my $.02

peace, chris

hay man i read your post 2 messages ago. you dont have to post twice in reference to the same thing. you can fing my recordings in the reggae section of eazytree now known as DAD. the mics i have i have to turn the first bass frequency up for the bass to sound right. sick having mics with built in bass roll-off.

Sounds like too much rolloff, if you have to turn the bass back up later.

I loved them when I borrowed them from a pdx taper many many many moons ago. Then, I went shopping for them and couldn't handle the $650 price tag. Just seems like there are some VERY nice options comprable for much less.
