I just picked up my AKG 414 the other day and I heard a rattle in the basket of the mic. I was concerned about the object hiting the diaphram so I opened the thing up. It was some tiny plastic shard, but what alamed me was lots of dust and crap on the diaphram. My intitial response was to blow on it...

Thank you everybody especially jspartz for the reality check. I started thinking about it and realised the sm81's have served me very well. I remember now how well precussion things like tamb or shakers worked in the mix. The thing is, I think I'm beginning to expect that loud hyped type sound and t...

Yeah I'm curious too, I have a 822 can I use the new digi 002 as a digital front end for it getting the 24 bit word length?

I know its silly but what does this much bandied class A discreet mean?

I recently bought a pair of RFT/ (Neumann) MV 810/2 Discrete Mic Preamps on ebay, maybe you've seen them around?. Can anybody tell me more about what the RFT history is and its connection to Neumann? Any technical or historical information about these Mic Pres would be very helpful and interesting t...
