Jidis Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hi Simone,If you don't get an answer in here, you might try the geekslutz section at gearslutz ( http://www.gearslutz.com/board/geekslutz-forum/ ). I wouldn't be surprised if that place had the people that designed it lurking around. There will at least be mic modders and guys who repair them in there.Good Luck,George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cimo Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 ;D ;D ;Dthe storm is over: i don t really know what happened in my friend s house for it not to work, he said he tried it on a usb sound card and on a mixer desk, but i know now that it didn t work when i got it back cause i plugged it in my linux machine usb soundcard which is an old usb1.1 and can t supply enough juice for the Phantom Power.. anyway, whatever, just a coincidence .. now it works again, hurray for Australia s techsSimone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cimo Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 yeah Artesia you were not far from reality after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jidis Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Good to hear Simone. :)Yeah those USB guys vary in their ability to power a condenser. When I was shopping for one, there was one that was notorious for handling 'some' condensers but not others, and caused a few headaches for people that didn't know about it. Can't remember if it was one I "looked at" or one I bought though. ;D (I've got an Edirol UA-25 which can be bus powered, and a Lexicon Omega)BTW- Always wanted that Rode, but couldn't justify buying it as I already have an AT4050, plus most of what I track is dynamic oriented. I probably would have one, but those and many of the Chinese bang-for-the buck condensers hadn't come out way back when I got mine. Still might get it later.GeorgePS- Artesia's never ripped apart an 88-key weighted keyboard?? I need help! >:( >:( ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artesia Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 artesia has a 88 key weighted maudio keystation ..how might dissassembly be of service ? ;)btw talking of bang for buck mics ..have afew of the behringer b series ones kicking around here ..and they give incredible & very professional results for the money ;)...record vocals on them in as dry an environment as possible, then add some boost eq in the warmth and presence regions as desired ..add some good quality reverb ..and bang ! ..slick, polished results :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jidis Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 how might dissassembly be of service ? ;)Check that "adult service manual" thread in here for details. A Technics I bought has some intermittently "dead" keys and I'm considering going inside it. :oBTW- I was also thinking about grabbing a cheap pair of Behringer condensers too, but I'll probably fish up some info later to pick some out. I've got an Apex measurement mic I like here for certain overhead and room duties and was going to get a second one for stereo (it's similar to an ECM8000), then I saw that you can get an actual pair of a similar Behringer SDC for about 10 bucks more, some of which have gotten decent reviews as overheads.Take Care,George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artesia Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 btw ..totally off topic ..tho i also have the behringer stereo pair ...another cracking little bargain ..tho be aware they are a little over sensitive to bass at close range (afew inches); so close range vocals, 'as is' are the only thing they arent ideal for.

Jidis Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Well, close mic'ing is probably the main thing I wouldn't be getting them for, except maybe HF stuff like an cymbal or hi-hat. They would probably be drum overheads and maybe room mics for recording band practices or a show. With the two USB interfaces I've got now (and laptops) it would be fun to do some clean stereo tracking with gear I didn't care too much about. Catch is, there were a few back when I was reading that stuff. In the back of my head I'm thinking it was a "C1" or something. It sold in a pair with a case.George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artesia Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 for the large condenser mics:B2 - the dual diaphragm one:http://www.behringer.com/B-2PRO/index.cfm?lang=ENGb1 - Single Diaphragm:http://www.behringer.com/B-1/index.cfm?lang=ENGc-2 - the small stereo twin pair mic set, provided with mounting brackets:http://www.behringer.com/C-2/index.cfm?lang=ENGall cheap as chips ...and not half bad ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jidis Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 c-2 - the small stereo twin pair mic setThat's the guy! (guys actually)I think I had it mixed up with the Studio Projects mic. I need to stop looking at this crap (I've been on sort of a buying spree lately).Thanks,George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimo Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 well i borrowed again the mic to this friend of mine and it doesn t work at his place, neither in the mix desk (behringer) nor in its sound card (m-audio)!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
