one man’s bug is another man’s feature or something like that …
i guess Klangfarbe is happy about that, one more mic sale for them. and they even have “generic Desktop Mic Stands”

Heh. Believe it or not, the AKG’s slightly less sensitive pickup makes for a great bass cabinet/kick drum mic. Although I dig the Rode for vocals, that AKG has a long life ahead of it in my audio toolbox.

Hi @7937f987515280d07289e7ca042a1cd5:disqus . Tbh, I have no idea. It was an el-cheapo desktop stand. There are plenty of them available from Musician’s Friend, for example. Sorry I couldn’t be more help, but it’s a generic “Desktop Microphone Stand”. Thanks for getting in touch!

Thanks so much for taking the time to make some .wavs Dan! Sounded great. Just ordered 2 AKG 220's for our podcast setup. I'll let you know when we get something recorded. Thanks again!

Hi Phil. An excellent idea. Give me a few days, as I'm currently doing a bit of a studio upgrade, including the Rode NT-1A. I'll post my review of the Rode, and then load up some vocal and instrument samples in the audio section for comparison. Thanks for stopping by.

Is there a place where i can hear non-you tube compressed audio of this? I would also love to hear your tube pre and compressor. Is there a place I can have a listen? Thanks! Been looking all day for a review like this.
