Especially interesting because it's blending mic level signals (I think?) before hitting the preamp? Wait, is that possible with phantom power, various impedances....

My wife's been playing a lot more music and started a band (even though she's in denial of it) with a friend of ours. She recently asked me to put together some kind of pedal board. Based on her description, I gave her a spring reverb, a TC Electronic 5th Dimension (which is her favorite--totally ...

I had a pair of Community PA speakers that used lamps as fuses. Why did they not use fuses as fuses? I do not know.


I used to do sound at a terrible club that had those speakers. There was one advantage to using light bulbs as fuses, when the speakers started to glow you knew you needed to back ...

M160 is probably my favorite guitar amp mic. I'm having mine re-ribboned this week. M88 is definitely handy.


Where are you sending it? I have an M500 (my favorite vocal mic) that needs some TLC.



Ulrigg Ribbons. I think it's Jon from Shinybox. It's like $260 to get it done. I hesitated ...

Fav dynamic mics to use on acoustic guitar? I always grab small condensers by default, large diaphragm condensers less often, or ribbons when I want to “experiment.”

Typo. That should have read pulling a card and reseating it.
Seriously though, I'm kind of jealous. There are days I wish i still had my 38. I loved that machine.

I had a 38 that had the same issues. Often it was that the channel card had become unseated or the contacts were oxidised. Sometimes pulling a card and repeating it cleared thing up.

Man do I love these mics. Good luck. I actually have an RE16 that I use for vocals that I prefer to many condensers and ribbons. Acoustic, electric, voice, drums, really great. Lots of debate between old timers on the differenced between RE10/11/15/16 in one of the few decent Gearspace ...
