You can go here to see some FHII's in blumlein in front of the kit. You will have to log in to myspace to see the pics. We used them as room mics with Shure KSM27 as spaced pairs for OH's. They were awesome as room mics and I wouldn't hesitate to use them as OH's. www.myspace.com/bobcharlesband Unfo...

Peavey VMP-2 is in the $600.00-$750.00 range. Not a perfect pre, but a pretty dang nice one. I was just going to mention this much under loved pre. I got lucky and spent $500.00 for mine but it would probably be difficult to find one in that range now. Here is a link to an article about one if you ...

Well, I can tell you the Fatheads sound awesome. I have stereo pair and I don't have a clue what the thickness is on the ribbon, nor do I care. My ears like 'em and they work well on many sources.

If you can find the discontinued CAD VX2, buy it. I am saving my dimes for one. I have not read one bad user review anywhere.

Mine needs a serious mechanical calibration, which the manual tells about in pretty good detail. Right now I would be scare to put a test tape on it for fear of it being destroyed as th...

Topic: Mixing with/without a SUB
Replies: 15
Views: 4839

I have a sub and I mix with it activated all the time. The difference between me and wedge, however, may be that I've set up my sub to be very subtle. If a sub makes the bass "really hit you" on typical commercial recordings then you've got it set quite high. I've setup my sub to discreetly extend ...

These were only made for a short time but can be had for a very reasonable price, thanks to the Peavey name being on it. THey are slowly coming up in price as people are discovering it.
