Topic: Is the giant squid an upgrade to my ecm 719 sony?

[ponape]

Hi
I have taped a few show with my sony ecm 719 (+ sharp md)
I bought a Giant squid Cardioid Powered Stereo Microphone recently

Is it an upgrade to my ("old") ecm719?

The cost is nearly the same but the giant squid have a battery with bass roll off in.
I know its still cheap mic but i am pretty new

the easiest way to answer your question is to try them both out in front of your home stereo system and compare. whichever one you prefer is obviously the better mic for you.

+t good luck, happy taping, and if you ever have any more questions, don't hesitate to come here and ask!

I have a pair of giant squid omnis (not bat box) and a pair of the powered cards i'll probably be selling. PM if you want em and we can discuss price

In fact ; i am already waiting for them.
.I will sell the mic which dont sound better imo (i will try in front of my stereo ; thx)
Thanks

here's a link to a very interesting website:

you'll find 2 samples of the same performance recorded with both ecm-717 and giant squid omnis in order to compare the mics!
