Title: Stealth mics for my recently purchased JB3
Post by: BlueEyes17el on January 16, 2005, 02:58:35 PM

I just bought a new JB3 off ebay (expecting it to come to me tomorrow) so now I'm looking for some mics for it. I'm a beginner so I'd like to keep everything simple.

So far I've been thinking about going with a Core-sound set.


Which of these would be the best for stealthing (I'll only be stealthing)? The "Stealthy Cardioids"?

      75 |        60 | [1        ] | Core-Sound Low Cost Binaurals | (S) misnomer, these are omnis
      75 |        60 | [1        ] | Core-Sound Low Cost Cardioids | (S) uses same batt box as CSBs
     170 |       136 | [1        ] | Core-Sound Binaurals (CSB)    | (S) misnomer, these are omnis
     200 |       160 | [1        ] | Core-Sound Stealthy Cardioids | (S) uses same batt box as CSBs

And which battery box would be the best for a loud rock band in a smaller venue/club?

      60 |        48 | [  2      ] | Core-Sound (C-S) Battery Box  | (S) for all but HEBs
      90 |        72 | [  2      ] | C-S Batt Box w/bass roll-off  | (S) for all but HEBs
      30 |        24 | [  2      ] | Core-Sound Low Cost Adapter   | (S) REQUIRED for LOW COST Bin/Cards
      60 |        48 | [  2      ] | Core-Sound HEB Batt Box       | (S) for Core-Sound HEBs (same as above?)
      90 |        72 | [  2      ] | C-S HEB Batt Box w/bass roll  | (S) for Core-Sound HEBs (same as above?)

Any other mics you'd recommend? I don't want to spend more the about $250 and I'm willing to buy used.

I just bought these...

Cant wait to test them out. They get great reviews and are good for the price. There are some sound samples on their site.
