Incoming NMD - Superlux S502
Welp, I put in what I thought was a lowish bid and got it for $3 over the opening bid.
What did I buy?

Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

It's wine. Sorry. I couldn't guess at anything music related.

It’s a microphone, or two depending on how you’re counting.

The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

I wasn't familiar with the C422 but it certainly does look like a great microphone.marqueemoon wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 6:47 pmNo. This will be used for things I’m not comfortable using my C422 for though.
So, you have a Chinese made stereo microphone in an ORTF position and the microphone is an interpretation of a German microphone.
This is what we know so far.

Re: Incoming NMD
Yes indeed.
I’ve been curious about this mic as soon as I learned it existed. There’s a video on YouTube of it on drum overhead duty that piqued my interest. There are also two separate videos of this and the Schoeps on a choir. The Schoeps is far superior in that application, but there are a lot of situations where a little less detailed sound is a good thing.

Yeah, I own two Neumann KM184s, and indeed, less detail can be better.marqueemoon wrote: ↑Sat Jul 23, 2022 9:26 amYes indeed.

What do you intend to use it for? I'm a little intrigued also.

Re: Incoming NMD
Band practices and shows, drum overheads and room mainly.
I’ve been doing quite a bit of recording my guitar and voice live with one mic, and I like how that glues things together, but I dislike the way it sounds with reverb. I like the idea of putting this several feet back for ambiance and leaving the close mic drier.
Probably can’t mic an acoustic too close with it without it getting weird in mono, but I’ll experiment with it.
I’ll try to post some clips.
