Schwilly, I would love to hear some samples...thanks for the offer!  I would agree that running stack side isnt optimal, but for the shows I am running at lately, you tape where you get your tickets from in the mad rush on the day they go on sale!

STG? how about just send it to my lab for the next 2 days.

download it like everyone else

oh shibby, well, pm me your addy and I'll have some discs in the mail for you on tuesday.  I've taped, some local funk and rock bands,  portugese goth metal, and the rave last night.  These mics are pretty forgiving in shitty sounding rooms when I have used the hypers!

Hey Nick, sorry I didn't chime in here earlier...haven't been trolling all the forums here.

I have some samples with the at853Rx as well.  One mic'ed right off the stack at a very boomy bar here.  I've had no problem with distortion or anything with these mics.  The bass response on them is great, IMO. I used to own a pair of the SP at853s, and they just couldn't handle the SPL at a lot of shows.

I haven't listened to your sample.  I'll d/l it tonight.  But if you'd like some samples with my mics, I can dig up some of the raw recordings and make some mp3s.  I don't claim to make great recordings, but it should give you a good feel for what they pick up.    Schwilly's samples are much better than mine, though

i can prolly get a pair of the SP cmc-4's to run side-by-side with the at853Rx if you really want. I think a friend of mine has a pair.

haha, sorry, not because schwilly can't tape, but because the 853s are, what, $300?

$340 new, I think.  At least that's what I got mine for.

actually if you dont mind just mp3ing a couple of samples, that would be great....no worries about running side by side...I know what the SP mics are not capable of...just trying to make sure that I wont have the same problem if I buy your mics...Thanks!

[drumminj]

Sure, I'll do that tonight and PM you.  If you want a sample from Schwilly, he actually uploaded one to me the other day. It's still on my server, I believe, so PM me and I'll give you the login info.

You don't mind, do ya Schwilly?

[nickgregory]

that is great, PM sent!  Thanks!  +T

[Sean Gallemore]

no minding here

OK, bumping this thread because I finally had a chance to run the 853RX's in a stealth situation...bassy as hell, loud fucking shows, and the tapes turned out great.....the SP versions would absolutely have distorted during trapt as loud as it was....look for tapes to be circulating in the next week or so

[Sean Gallemore]

great news nick!  keep it up

Good to hear!  I also taped my first show with my modded at943's:

Some mp3 samples at the bottom, no bass rolloff was used and it sounds just fine.  I think those bass distortion hell/clipping days are long over my friend
