On the other hand, I've spoken to some very experienced audio engineers that insist that size doesn't matter, and in fact are preferable to mics that can fit into tighter places in of course the right circumstance.  (And now we return you to your regularly scheduled programing) |

(And now we return you to your regularly scheduled programing) This is one topic I would really like to consult Sylvia Massy on this kind of talk. I'd bet she'd straighten us out. |

Never buy a super old RE-20, all I'll say. One of the more annoying repairs when the foam disintegrates.

I only have RE20s because my father on his deathbed said to me, "Son, never use a dynamic microphone larger than your manhood". My mother's nickname for him was "Big Daddy" and as far as I can remember he never wore short pants.  NSFW, this should be blurred out. Gross. |

Hats off to the Germans, they make great mics…Feels very substantial and love the new old style grill…pleasant refresh indeed… I can now permanently mic my guitar cab…go into the back of the Neve and leave it there…use the front MIC input for other stuff and switch between the two… until I get an API…    |

M88TG killed for my live voice tonight.  Got to sing a bunch of 3 and 4 Part Harmonies.* And one Lead vocal. The clarity of the M88, works much better on me than RE20. Or 666 for that matter. My AKG D790 is great bang for the buck. But not quite on the same level. *My fave harmonies were on "I Shall Be Released"/ala The Band. And "You Were Always On My Mind" (Elvis style) The "other Chris" has an Angelic Tenor, like Richard Manuel in his prime. So I mostly covered 2nd Tenor. Chris |

M88 all the way. I have two that I use often while the RE20 is cool once in a while on things. Only bought cuz it was cheap ($200) The only problem wiyh the M88 is that the diaphragm is a bit fragile, and over time develops problems. I have 2 M88s and at least one RE20. I like both, but since I like the m88 fror vocals I usually use the RE20 on the beater mic for kick, with a Heiserman U47 FET on the outside. |
