Title: recomendations for omnis please!
Post by: nicegrin on January 11, 2008, 06:50:00 PM
I have MM HLSC-1 cards but i´m leaning towards buying some omnis too...

What are my options if I want good sound quality and stealth?

I was thinking about something similar to the OKM IIR.  My budget is ~ 300 dollar i think, so DPAs are out of the question.

Thanx!

Look at the Church Audio Omni's if the MM omni's aren't to your liking.

The omnitype stealth mics under 300-400 dollars that I´m considering are the following:

*Soundman OKM IIR (if one can find any used ones as they are not produced anymore)

*Sonic studios SS DSM-6s

*Core Sounds  C.S.B.

*Chris Church omnis

*Sound Professionals SP CMC-8**, SP-CMC-4u* and SP-CMC2* (all need the 4.7 k mod right?)

*Microphone madness HLSC-omnis


Anyone that would add any mic to this list? And How would you rank these alternatives when it comes to sound quality?

Thanks!



*cards
**available both as cards and omnis

The Sennheiser MKE2 is a great choice.  (Microphone Madness sells them cheap as the  "HLSO")  Very small and sounds amazing.

Also the AT U853 (Sound Pros CMC-4U) is stunning.  The omni directional capsule for this line is by far the best mic availible from Sound Pro's IMO.  "UE-O"
The rest of the capsules have their limitations, but the omnis, I can't find anything wrong with them...
