Topic: SHOW US YOUR MIC SHRINE :)

[Church-Audio]

Here is my little microphone shrine I have a few other mics that did not make it in the picture. These mics are from a new company I am doing some consulting with.

I have a AMI L87 condenser mic with a 1 inch gold diaphragm. Next is a AMI FT56 three pattern tube mic + 6 in between patterns with a 1.3 inch diaphragm and 12axtb tube. Next is a pair of AMI L18 condenser mics with omni and cardioid caps. And last but not least is a AMI F33 three pattern condenser mic with 1.3 inch diaphragm. Lets see some more mics...

What's the story on these AMI mics Chris?  The only thing I can find of them is on eBay and the prices make me curious.

They are some of the best sounding mics I have ever heard at this price range.. If you get past the bad English and horrible pictures they are great mics. And in the end that's all that matters. I like the F33 and the L18 mics they sound very good. The tube mics are great as well. I like them I have lots of studio projects mics and other more high end mics and I like these mics. I am not just saying that because I have some or because I did some consulting work for them. I got some of these mics for free. But knowing what I know now, I would have paid for all of them. They are not cheap junk. I have opened them up and they are using good quality caps and resistors and most importantly good quality capsules. And most of these mics have a transformer coupled output I find gives them a nice warm tone.

I think you should share some of those mics with the rest of us stirin I'd like to share my mic shrine but it would only be maybe 100x100 pixels at the moment
