Has anyone been receiving the mics they ordered recently? (I.e., in Nov, Dec, Jan)

I ask because a few days ago, I sent an e-mail to info@ with a few questions, and haven't received a reply. When did you order yours? What was the wait time?

When did you order yours? What was the wait time? Placed my order on November 3rd Received microphone February 7th. 3 months and 4 days. For a hand-built microphone, painstakingly built to order as it was ordered, that's pretty good! Especially considering the high demand for these microphones.

How much SPL can this thing handle? Can I set it 2 inches in front of a cranked half stack without worry?

SPL is rarely the issue, air motion is. But ask Mark's advice.
Then, it's a ribbon, massive proximity effect. I've never experienced an amp so anemic it required anything closer than a foot out. You never want a ribbon 2" away from a source.
Go find and read the Tom Dowd descriptions of recording Disraeli Gears. Dimed 100W Marshall rigs, ribbon mics.

The Samar does not have the same proximity effect problems or issues that exist traditionally with RCA and other similar designs. You can track a source within an inch on a VL37 and not have a problem with excessive proximity effect going on.
I have my second one on order now.

So you stick your sight up against a grill and don't blow it up?

I do employ a stedman pop filter but good at 2".

I haven't had a Samar closer than a foot, bass general gets way too big. I'm repeating myself.....

How much SPL can this thing handle? Can I set it 2 inches in front of a cranked half stack without worry? It supposedly has a very thin ribbon. The one that I was sent to test apparently couldn't handle shipping vibration and supposedly ended up with a sagging ribbon. If it can't handle that, I'm not sure it'd last in front of a cranked speaker, IMHO.

Now you have me rereading all these old Classic tracks as I play the tracks on the Quested 308s First thought Journey Open Arms all these guys are way to talented but Damn Steve Perry and an M49 ! They don't make mics like that anymore or singers! Practice practice practice !

More than likely from what I have heard from other voices here as well as other sources concerning the microphone's integrity, it was most likely abused on the way over to you a bit. Air pressure is one thing, being treated like a football on it's journey from it's birthplace to you is quite another situation entirely. It could go either way though.

Samar was hanging back tonight. First set up the Samar with a 609 on the grill. Wasn't feeling the 609, so I swapped in a 57 and got where I was going. http://instagram.com/p/BK2Qnk9A2rr

Kicking myself for not getting the JCM 800 in the pic. I think we would have had amps from 6 different decades in the pic.

I have 7 of Mark's ribbons, and they had no problems from shipping.

Well it was supposedly checked out before being shipped to me, and I didn't drop it during my testing, so it must have been during shipping. I have a R121 that I'm ashamed to say has been dropped at least once, and fell over on a stand once, yet has never suffered a bent/broken/sagging ribbon. I'm just saying.

Luckily, the Samar that I purchased seems to be in good working order. Really happy with the results so far after 1 session.
