it's a Wide World of Mic Excitement

Have you ever been like me during a weekend of "Mic Fever" and searched the entire Internet for every source of a possible perfect mic that you may have missed. Maybe you'll find the one secret combination that no one else has found or thought of.

You may have thought about ordering just one of the exotic sounding one-off brands that sounds so good in the web description. That's one reason we try to contact some of these companies and ask if they know if anyone is using their product for voiceover and can we get an audio clip.

Our friends at cuonet.com feature an link to an interesting UFO brand USB condenser. I really like the marketing style of the demonstration. Wonder how it sounds? It looks great. (There I go again--stop it!)

Do you consider brands like Flea, Karma, LeWilson, Microphonedeals (reorganizing), Superlux, T.H.E., UMT, HDW as one-offs or boutique makers?
Do you have or know someone that uses what may be considered an unusual brand....with good success?

Let us know what you have found.

This kind of stuff drives me crazy. I'm stuck on Pelusos, Cascades, Lawsons.
Buying magazines, digging up websites, I go kind of rabid.
This JamMate does look kinda cool...

I have a couple of mic tests I want to show you if you are interested in putting them up on this website. One is the rode-nt1a versus the zoomH2 internal mics, and the zoomH2 mics versus the zoomH4 mics. Thanks.

Malo, sure we would love the comparison tests. Make sure they are "unprocessed" files if possible.
Send them to willie.tv63@gmail.com.
Thanks. Looking forward to them.
