![]() I think so many of us get caught up in the "Brand Name" game and I think it's ridiculous! My suggestion to all is to do your homework and spend your money wisely. Certain subject matter gets my immediate attention and microphones is one of them. You're welcome Frodo! I've been a member of this forum for quite a little while now and as you can see from my post count, I haven't had a whole lot to say. What I understand is that this info is not to the exclusion of others, but rather- this info is *a result of* any exclusions of this info from other reports I might say you have no idea what it means, but I think you do. Thank you, thank you, thank you- for the info. ![]() I also own the AD2022, the Manley Single, Focusrite Red 7, Focusrite Octopre, and a dbx376! Of all of the pre's I have available, the MA-200 sounds best with the Vt737sp by far to me! I hardly use the 737 unless I use the MA-200! I actually have a Neumann U 87 and I swear I like the MA-200 better! For those of you unfamiliar with the Mojave MA-200, it's designed by David Royer (I know everyone's heard of Royer unless you're from another planet) and it's simply put a BEAST! On the surface it looks like many of the cheap Chinese microphones that are out there but under the generic exterior is a mic that is simply amazing! I have over 40 various microphones but the MA-200 and the SHURE SM7B are for me hands down my must haves! The SM7B paired up with my Manley or the AD2022 is also KILLER! Keep in mind the mics were $700 new, so don't pay crazy money for it though. If you don't like it, you'll have no problem selling it to someone else. Should you ever have a chance to get one. Now the R8 capsule (and others are available) starting at $600 when they used to be $300 for the R8. I think the problem was these mics were so good they were eating away at Blue's own higher end offerings. You could get one and the R8 capsule for $700 total. ![]() When I came in and listened to my first track cut with the Type B I was so blown away, I ordered one immediately!! I need practically no EQ when using this mic. One day, I borrowed a friend's Red Type B (made by Blue microphones) and it was incredible the difference. I spend money having the mic modded to be a TL (transformerless) and it seemed a little better. Not sure which model of the AKG-414 your talking about, but I can tell you I bought a 414-B/ULS as my first vocal mic and it turned out to be a rather poor choice for my particular voice. you're likely to get a bunch of answers that say "one size does not fit all." And that's pretty much spot on. ArtieRod wrote:I love the 414 AKG but wanted to get some feed back on Mics.
