Must_stop_reading_about_Gefell. (hides wallet). Chris I'm torn between a umt800 or a m92.1s The UMT800 is like a UMT-70s on steroids, with all its patterns and larger head acoustics. That is one of the most versatile Gefell mics. I have thrown that grenade at more sources than any other Gefell. If you only need a cardioid pattern and want some tube euphony, you should get the M92.1s. It fits in a dense mix perfectly.

I have had good experiences with Furman power. We spec the expensive ones on big jobs. I like the M-8x2. Its not expensive and good quality. Hey Adam, I could look this up but I’m feeling lazy today. Dose Furman still have the line that uses there own circuit for protection instead of MOV’s? They were the ones that would take more than one spike and still protect. That’s the problem with 99% of the stuff out there as far as protection they are one and done protection wise and then the protection circuit becomes a simple wire trace. They also never tell you “ Hey I did it now go replace me!!!” The Classic Series? www.furmanpower.com/products/all/component-power/classic-series

I have had good experiences with Furman power. We spec the expensive ones on big jobs. I like the M-8x2. Its not expensive and good quality. no pun intended. Is that ur unbiased opinion? Ur not just saying that cause you maybe sell them? Hi, My previous post is based around my experience with the gear. I have no interest in who purchases what or where. I stand to gain exactly nothing from that post, Or Any post. As Eric mentioned above, my employer specifies audio systems for bigger installations. I have some experience doing this, and have spec'd the Furman products for their quality and the "getting the job done, with reliable, proven tools" - aspect. I have never, spec'd a tool in a setup - due to Higher Margin. Not ever in my 15 year career. The customers might call us saying the rig died. We don't like that. Therefore, we spec tools that we are familiar with and are proven. As well, I Have two of these products. I have an 8-MX2 in my studio an a SB-6 in my apartment. I like the quality I got for the money I spent. Which wasn't too much different from Retail. peace a.j.b

Unfortunately Oliver Archut is not with us anymore. Oliver actually gave me advice on my purchase of my M49s. He was a gracious person. He also told me that the M49 was his favourite of the Neumann microphone family and was to build his own version of the Lucas being the CS9. I was looking forward to hearing and purchasing one for my studio. I have been trying to find more info on a regular basis to see if there will still be a CS9 based or exacting to his design. I am very happy with the CS4 and CS1 . The CS4 is a U47 style and the CS1 in the lines of a C12 AKG. They sound unique in their own right, but are beautiful creations. I would think the CS9 would also be a work of art. Anyone hear if the CS9 of Oliver's is in the works? There seemed to be a lot of hope early on but nothing that I have found as of late. I know there was distancing from other parties involved due to legalities involved in Oliver's passing, but I think the tribute to Oliver would be great if the CS9 came to fruition . You might email Dennis Maximova about that, sales@tab-funkenwerk.com

In all seriousness, I am seeing so many Gear manufacturers send out emails about closing, or having very limited service availability, it is starting to feel like even if I wanted to buy new gear, I would't be able to get it. COVID-19 is a G.A.S killer.

I have used this compressor and it's out of this world amazing. Contact Lukasz to order.
Here is a demo I did with it,
I've watched this video countless times. This compressor sounds absolutely AMAZING. The Distortion / Lag feature alone is pure GENIUS... would love to know how they're doing the LAG portion. Have an idea on a few ways it could be done but nevertheless, a badass control to have on a piece of analog HW. Thank you SO MUCH for making this video! It's the only one of it's kind hahaha Glad you dig! Especially coming from a boutique builder such as yourself! I appreciate it. I need to do more of these, as it seems useful to show what a tool is capable of. And also, a perfect use of a boring weekend night with nothing to do

I always do this by ear and decide how the material sounds at the final target level. The material always dictates what you can get away with. But, if I had to throw out a number, I would say between -18LUFS and -14LUFS is where I live.

Thanks! The M-990 is such a cool microphone. Same capsule and head grill shape as the M-930. It has a different presence rise around 7-10k. Whereas the M-7 is a bit more sugary and sparkly in that range. Its more "modern" sounding on the top end. It also a deeeep low end reach. But not "obese" its just really accurate and super fast. The M-990 is a cool (slept on) concept, as it mates the UM92.1s head amp with the M-930 capsule and grill. Which, to my ears, makes for a combination that resembles a C12 having sex with an M49.
Hilarious AND informative. We really ought to ramp up that YouTube Channel, with you and John E. hosting-now! Chris We could talk about such Interesting topics like, -oxytocin, why it is known as “the cuddle hormone”

Would u say for rap m990 woild be suited instead of m92.1s. Is it bright like the c800g? Or completely different.. in what situations would you use one over the other? im talking m990 vs m92.1s The M990 is “prettier” on top. Not really “brighter”. Both mics are awesome for all types of vocals. It’s really up to the producers to decide which mic compliments which voice.

Totally different beasts, but there are some tonal similarities, as they both use the M-7 capsule. Its just a different head-basket and mounting. The UM900 has a much more unique vibe to my ears. Its very clear and open, with certain air and atmosphere that is stunning. Laser sharp detail, but also much of the same "warmth" of the classic M49/U47 tone. There is a sweetness to it. The UM92.1s is a bit narrower, in the image, but also has a "sweetness" to the mid range (not unlike a good example of a U-67). It has less bottom end though. Which, I can say, is often appreciated. It doesn't have a messy low end. the UM92.1s has characteristics of all the main-stay big dogs. It fits in the mix amazingly well. Its hard to describe these intricacies. Dancing about Architecture..... Whoa great exanation. Thanks, and what's ur thoughts on m990 which I'm aware has a modern capsule Thanks! The M-990 is such a cool microphone.

between these two? how do they compare? any opinions from people who used them? Totally different beasts, but there are some tonal similarities, as they both use the M-7 capsule.

The CS remote unit construction is metal, & very rugged. Also, 24 discrete inputs with comm system. Another feature I love about them, you can create settings from one mixer and send the mix to any other mixer on the network. Effortlessly. So the engineer can design the cue mixes for everyone and send them to all, or each person individually. You can store presets on a USB stick for each mixer. Its fuggin amazing. The sound is also wayyyy better than something like the Hearback system. So the price is justified.
Here is a system I spec'd with a Live Mix16, (16 possible mixes) using 9 CS-SOLO remotes. (The 9th one is by the Pro Tools System this tags along with). I outfitted the LM16 with a Dante Card, fed by a MTRX Dual-Dante Module.
So - if I wanted just two stations, I would just need the two CS solos plus what? I assume there’s a base station you have to buy? You need the MIX16 base unit, two CS-SOLO units and a method of input to the MIX16. If you wanted Analog inputs, you need the AD24 unit. If you wanted Dante inputs, you add the optional LM-DANTE-EXP module installed into the MIX16

I dig the Digital Audio Labs LIVE MIX 16/32 with CS-SOLO and CS-DUO remotes. Very nice sounding and extremely functional system. Looks interesting and built better than anything I know of currently made. The CS remote unit construction is metal, & very rugged. Also, 24 discrete inputs with comm system.

It is likely - Peppers Pro Shop. I have heard he gives those types of discounts. But also, the internet says he was being sued for ghosting with a client's gear and not paying for it. And there are a bunch of unhappy people in similar situations dealing with Pepper. No discount is worth suffering a guy like that.
EDIT: I guess he left Nashville for Vegas. Makes sense.
I think he was talking about Front End. I understand they aren’t very well liked either lol Yea, Front End is notorious for discounting, but they have horrible service and support.

I have one in my collection. (SM57 with T58) It extends the frequency response out to 20k and there is a clever HPF in the transformer that cleans up the body resonance on a loud source.
