[QUOTE="jeffsw6, post: 14722, member: 14"] Re: Whats in your mic box and what your favorite? I own numerous standard mics, most of which have already been discussed here and everyone is familiar with them. The ones that stand out for me are: * Heil PR22/HMPP, really good dynamics at a good price * AT Pro37 I give my opinion on the PR22/HMPP in the Product Review area. As far as the AT Pro37 goes, I bought these as ''Andy P rejects,'' after he no doubt upgraded to something he likes more. I was not entirely sure I would like these, but he sold them to me for a really fair price and I need need some SDCs. I'm not in love with these as overheads, and I'm not sure I will find an OH mic I like until I am willing to spend money on something like the AKG C430 or C-414 models. However, they get my entry-level jobs done IMO better than what my competitors are using, e.g. SM57, C1000, and so on. Where I do like these mics more than I expected is on hat, bottom snare, or acoustic guitar. I think the HF detail is good for a $130 condenser. As you would expect, though, it requires a wind screen outdoors, and is not a very good vocal mic for singing or speech. Really, I own these because they are a little better than what I see other local guys on my level throwing up as overheads, and I am willing to put more of them in the mix in smaller environments than you might guess, because they don't sound too bad at all. Sometimes, a bar band really does need some cymbal mics or overheads; and these things fit that bill. [/QUOTE]
