Beyerdynamic - M 300

Some of my favorites that I got for very cheap: Phillips stereo mics -- input two XLR connectors on. Sound awesome on drums, on guitar cabs, and for acoustic recordings. Beyerdynamic m300 -- killer on toms. I prefer these to the Sennheiser md421s. Cheaper too. Huge bottom end and punchy as hell. Senator hifi microphone -- I can't find much info. Dual impedance. Paid like 40. Put an XLR instead of the din. Basically looks like a German copy of the RCA starmaker 97 from the 60s and 70s. Built like an absolute unit. Sounds great on snare, bass and guitar cabs, and boomy acoustics. Strasser m88 copy -- awesome for clean guitars and vocals. Uher mics -- I have several different models. I convert to XLR, and these have all surprised me. People say the capsules were made by akg, but the uhers sound better than every akg dynamic I've ever had. The capsules tend to be larger than most dynamics and it does something special. I would pick the Uher over an sm57 any day. Don't let the plastic body models fool you. They're excellent sounding. Great on vocals, guitar cabs, toms, snares, kicks, bass, brass. Toa microphones -- slept on Japanese mics. Some models are better than others, especially the stuff they made in the 1970s when they were making high quality studio gear. I've gotten several rather cheap and they don't disappoint. Beautiful designs that stand out and excellent quality. Both the dynamics and pencil condensers are good. The pencils aren't overly hyped, so very nice for today's digital world.
