Re: What mics are you using in your studios?


Well I love AKG, so we have about every AKG condenser mic in the studio there is. I think they are more bang for the buck compared to Sennheiser.
Then of course some Shures (the usual suspects like SM58s SM57s and betas).
For guitar cabs I like the cheap AKG D22 paired with a good studio condensor mic. The D22 has lots of punch and I consider it lots better than the praised SM57.

Re: What mics are you using in your studios?


Shure sm-57

C 451 for acoustics

Neumann u87 (the daddy, love this mic)

AKG D12 for kick drum

Sennheiser MD421 (rarely used, mainly on drums/overheads)

AKG C414-EB (not used this much)

Rode NTK (not used this much)

A shiitty little mic taken from an old mixing desk which is an awesome room mic...it works great for vintage sounds gives a really warm vibe to the drum track in general. I love it...don't know what it's called, though. In fact, I'm not good with model numbers, I just recognize the mics and identify them that way.

The above mics are not owned by me they belong to my engineer, Gary.
