Topic: Which mics do you run to your UA-5, and do you like them?

Sometimes Size does matter.

definantly true. i tape in a few places where i have to set up in the back or front of the balcony because my rig interferes with the house video

[DCDireWolf]

Right on.  Thanks for weighing in.  Those ST Pros did quite the job at that Hunter Trio show.  How much do they usually run $-wise?

I recently picked up a pair of AT 3035's to use with my p-mod UA-5.  So far I am very pleased with the results.

studio projects c4s vs adk tls -- this is really apples vs. oranges.  The C4s are front address small diagphram mics (same configuration as neumann km184, akg c480s, etc.) while the adks are side address large diagphram mics (same configuration as neumann u89s, etc.)

I think the ua5 matches nicely with virtually any mic -- the real question should be of which mics you like the sound of.

[DCDireWolf]

yeah.  i need to find a phish show or something that was taped with a variety of different mics and do some comparison listens.

[caymanreview]

i have a sampler somewhere that had like 2-3 shows (alpine and creek this summer???, i know my TL's were on there from alpine) show and a snippet of one single song with each source that had surfaced

lemme see if i can dig it up

IMO, all of the various Oade MOD UA-5s are exceptional preamps and A/D boxes and will sound awesome w/any mic.

I really enjoyed my MC-012 > stock UA5  as well as any AKG mic through it.  I've run Audix 1290hc mics through a stock unit and that sounded good as well, but would definetely benefit from the WMOD.

I would look at it like this.
warm mics (large diaphram included) would be best with a TMOD
bright mics (most small diaphrams...except neumanns) would sound best with a WMOD

but thats just my opinion.

   I run supperlux and I like them very much for the price, but I someday hope to run TL's>Warm mod.

i like the AKG 480's with the warm mod myself...but then again it's your ears that are listening -- GOOD LUCK in the search.

I agree

I just tried out my AT853's last night w/ my W-Mod - card caps with the mics clipped to my stocking cap- and I am pretty stoked about the results.

Both my AT853's and TL's sound pretty bodacious through the w-mod.

[hoobash]

I run tl>wmod. You just cant wrong with the combo. I have also run tl>stock ua5. I can add audio tech at825>wmod or stock which sounds good too. I have the at825 on prema loan and I use it sometimes in clubs

[hoobash]

I have considered geting a pair of c4's and selling the tl's. Its just easier runing small diaphram mics and I dont tape that much anymore

This is why I picked up the AT's.

I hate stand footprint, myself...

I've run:

Oktava MC012 > pmod
Oktava MC012 & AT831 > pmod (Oktava XLR & AT RCA)
Josephson c42mp > pmod  (this is my favorite so far)

I just had my pmod converted to a tmod and it gets its first test tomorrow night.
