DSX Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Well, pardon my rare, extremely rare participation on JWSound. My name is Denzil Xavier and I'd like to attend. I can bring my mkh 50, 416, and NTG3. Plus, if desired my 816t. I'm curious to compare mics, plus it would be nice to meet a few more sound folks. Feel free to pm me any replies.

cory Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I am free and would love to come, but since there is a limit on the number of people, and I have absolutely no knowledge or gear I could contribute, feel free to put me on the waiting list and I'll come as long as the other spots aren't filled up come Friday.

Rick Reineke Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I would love to attend but I'm (allegedly) working that day. Regards to all, just the same...If possible, please include the AT 4073 (short shotgun) and and 4053 (hyper cardioid) I use these mics a lot and would like to compare (a series) AT 4053 (HC), 4073 (short shotgun) and.... 4071 (which I have, but rarely use) and my 'Sound Room' Oktava 012 (stereo set w/ O, C, HC caps) Of course, quality varies.... especially with Oktava infomas quality control/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Don't have any AT stuff on the list right now... if you can't make it maybe someone else can bring? Cheers, C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movies by Matt Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Unfortunately I have a timelapse shoot booked for this Friday. Wish I could've helped out. Very curious about results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 No worries Matt! All are welcome if anyone else is interested, pls send email. We've added the Nuemann shotguns to the list also css-5. If anyone has 418 it would be fun to compare. Any other stereo shotguns used often?

Shastapete Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 I have some cheap $100/pair monoprice brand microphones that I'll throw in my bag, I've used them once for a stereo audience mic and they seemed surprisingly decent. I'll bring those along for the fun of it. (I have both the hyper and cardioid caps) Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cory Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 We bought some of their large diagphram condensers and quality between them was very different. I wouldn't be surprised to hear different "copies" of their pencil mics sound very different from each other. But yes, the monoprice mics will be fun!

Ze Frias Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 That's a great list. Would've loved to see the DPA 4018 in there as well. Nonetheless, looks like it's going to be a great event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmfsnd Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 +1 on the 4018 capsule. It's more forgiving for indoor dialogue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Last minute -- the 416 we had coming fell through-- can someone bring theirs? Also, if you have 4018, that would be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Visser Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 too bad no 8070 on the list. won't be able to make it, but if there is something social going on afterwards, let me know, may be in the city as early as 9PM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRWsound Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 No worries on the 416! It'll be there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantin Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Wow, that's a really long list! Just over 6 minutes per mic. I'll be interested in hearing the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSX Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Yes, a 416 p48 will be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelo Waldron Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I think Senator is in NY today. I hear he loves a good shoot-out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze Frias Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 This was a great event. Here are some photos from today: Very productive I found. Thanks to Cory and Silver Sound for hosting this. Oh and to Pro Sound for lending us a bunch of mics to listen to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBH Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 So how do I get a monoprice sponsorship? Thanks to Silver Sound for hosting a great event! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze Frias Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 I think that monoprice microphone was the biggest surprise at the shootout. Considering that they are about $50 per mic, I was very impressed with their sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shastapete Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 since everyone liked these. Here is a link to the cigar caddy case that works great for small condenser mics. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007VU67O/ref=twister_B00NX913F6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 I keep my schoeps in one and those awe inspiring monoprice mics in another. Cory and I also tested it with an mkh50, and though the foam compresses when you close it, it doesn't feel like you're crushing anything. looking forward to whatever tracks you guys can post. peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Palmer Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Which monoprice? The short diaphragm condensors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shastapete Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 These are the mics in question, with the Hyper caps monoprice mics if anyone in NYC wants to play with them, let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
