    Speaking of Peavy Mics... Back in the 70s I was in a cover band setting up in a Brooklyn pub when I realized I didn't have my microphone bag. In a panic I ran a couple of blocks to a local music store and bought a Peavy Dynamic mic for $50. It was roughly the shape of an SM58 but was all white. It wound up being my favorite vocal mic. Around 10 years later I was freelance engineering a session in a recording studio in Tampa, Florida. I was recording a grand piano with an AKG C414 and as an experiment I placed my old Peavey mic on a stand under the piano pointing up at the soundboard. The next day the owner of the studio having listened to the recordings I had made the night before raved about the sound of the piano, saying he had never heard that piano sound that great. He asked me how I mic'ed it. I showed him my set-up and he asked me if he could buy my Peavey. I said it was my favorite vocal mic for live gigs and didn't want to sell it. He offered me $200. I sold it to him. I believe he set it up permanently under that piano.

      I traded, with an old boss, a Pioneer turntable I had refurbished for a bundle of musical equipment. In the lot was a Peavey Celebrity Series CD20 in white with a black grille. It actually sounds good on many voices, acoustic guitars, accordion, bagpipe and who knows what else. I mean, it's not my go-to for anything, but whenever I pull the thing out the vibe gets a little silly then surprised reactions follow.

    M88: nice mic! Too dark for most voices IMO, but great on bass guitar cabs, floor toms, even kick drum.
    C1000: end fire, battery powerable condenser.
    3 identical pencil condensers: 2x overheads plus hi hats ;)

    Love the C414 B-ULS. I have three of them and I use them regularly on drum overheads, acoustic guitars and other stringed instruments, guitar and bass amps, as well as vocals. Truly versatile mics, I tend to use them like "the SM57 of condenser mics" in terms of when I reach for them.

      After the first few, I thought I had been too. I got nervous after I opened it and started seeing really banged up mics. The weird part was that the sale had other nice mics that were separate. I had no expectation to get a *really* nice mic. But once I started digging in and I saw that striped box I new I had to save it for last.

    @SoundsToBlowYourMind 2 года назад +3

    Looks like you did alright with your "Mystery box"! I hope the nice models still work, particularly the C414! The C1000s is an end address, small condenser, often used for things like drum overheads, hi-hat, acoustic guitar, etc. Not the best mics in the world, but OK if you are on a budget! My profile pic is a pair of them as I use them for my ASMR stuff and drum recordings, etc!

    Congrats on the nice haul! Scoring a Unidyne III as your first 57 is great luck ;) Man, I would have loved to look around that place, I'm a sucker for vintage studio gear! I _think_ those wooden speaker monitors up top @ 0:45 were EV MS-802's, classics I still use and love, but aren't so common anymore. Anyway, hope your new additions provide >$1k worth of dynamic enjoyment! 👍👍

    @tasteapiana 2 года назад

    Exciting video, well done. I knew every name of every mic within 1 second of you showing it out of the case/bag/box lol. Really had me thinking you'd been left holding a bag of trash until that M88TG came out. Surprised you didn't find any Sennheisers in there. Both Beyers are good horn mics (sax, trumpet, etc), although Lou was likely using them on a bass drum and/or floor toms (I would say snare but I'm guessing it's all dirt-baggy enough to assume the 57s were always on the snares and rack toms). $1 says the B-ULS was a spot mic used just outside of the bass drum for shell resonance, on bass and guitar cabinets and for backing vox. We'd have to hear Lou's recordings to know more.

  • @insanejughead
    @insanejughead 2 года назад +1

    Mike, here are some useful things about some of those mics.
    If you have any issues with the Unidyne SM57 that you got out of that box, there's likely some foam that has started to break apart and is now contacting the diaphragm.
    I also have one of those ATM41s. I like it. The capsule on it is massive.
    I'm SO jealous of the AKG C1000S
    I had a chance to buy an AKG D1000E a few weeks ago. I turned it down because I didn't have time to research it before I left town.
    The screen on those is sintered metal, which is basically what you get when you take metal beads and weld/glue them in that arrangement. If you have an air compressor, you'll see the same type of filter being used to keep dirt out of the pump and canister.
    The MK319s are datable based on the types of screws that are found all over the body. There are some forums that I found to help date mine, I'll link it in discord if I remember where it is.
    Cheers!

    The grill on the AKG D1000E is "sintered" metal. Possibly aluminum. The process can be applied to almost any metal. Very surprised to hear you had no SM57s. I figured everybody had at least one of those. I was talking to another sound engineer the other day, and we both said that if we could have only one mic type in our mic locker it'd be SM57s. Love your videos, Mike. Thanks for all that you do for audio.
