MBHO history
« on: August 30, 2006, 10:09:45 PM »
I'd like to learn about the mics I'm currently running.  All I know is Schneider studied under the tutelage of Dr. Schoeps in Germany for sometime.  Anything on this history of this company, materials/techniques, or general thoughts would interest me.

I believe the same can be said for MBHO, worked with schoeps at one point or another but I could be wrong.

Good mics though...

Marc Nutter would be the guy to ask. Sonic Sense was one of the first retailers I knew of to carry MBHOs, and he seems to be really knowledgeable about the company.

Yup, I had some Josephson C-640's. Which were basically MBHO 648's (transformer coupled) with the option to run with an internal battery or 48 v DC phantom power. I bought mine from Josephson in 1990. Contrary to what most people report about David now, my experience with him at that time was not good. I did have a good experience with MBHO, through Mr. Haun in Germany though.

Yeah, Nutter can probably tell you all about the MBHO's...

I went from josephson c42 cards to mbho 603/500 hypers, nice transition.
Seriously, the band makes the music. Tapers just point mics in the right direction and hit "record".

That's good to hear!  The last patcher I had complained about my AKGs, fluffed schoeps for about 15 minutes, stayed patched in, and farted on me all night long.

Um, in my room, one seam is a little off and I stare at it constantly. It's, like, destroying me.

went and stayed with marc and parker for panic this year at Red Rocks.  Parker is still a very big MBHO supporter and knows her stuff.  however; my neumann's still pulled better tapes.
